Captain  jHopwood.  'R^H 


jO\v  these  are  the  £aws  of  the  cT2avy, 
Unwritten  and  varied  they  be; 
And  he  that  is  wise  will  observe  them, 
Going  down  in  his  ship  to  the  sea. 

As  naught  may  outrun  the  destroyer, 
Even  so  with  the  law  and  its  grip, 

Por  the  strength  of  the  ship  is  the  Service, 
And  the  strength  of  the  Service,  the  ship. 


So  shall  thou,  lest  perchance  thou  grow  wean 
In  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  sea, 

"Pray  for  leave,  for  the  good  of  the  Service, 
As  much  and  as  oft  as  may  be. 

Count  not  upon  certain  promotion, 

'But  rather  to  gain  it  aspire; 
though  the  sight-line  end  on  the  target, 

Chere  cometh,  perchance,  a  miss-fire. 

If  ye  win  through  an  Arctic  ice  floe, 
Unmentioned  at  home  in  the  'Press, 

"Heed  it  not,  no  man  seeth  the  piston, 
"But  it  driveth  the  ship  none  the  less. 


Cake  heed  what  ye  say  of  your  seniors, 
'Be  your  words  spoken  softly  or  plain, 

£est  a  bird  of  the  air  tell  the  matter, 
And  so  ye  shall  hear  it  ac^ain. 


Canst  follow  the  track  of  the  dolphin 
Or  tell  where  the  sea  swallows  roam; 

lOhere  leviathan  taketh  his  pastime; 
lOhat  ocean  he  calleth  his  home? 


If  ye  labour  from  morn  until  even' 
And  meet  with  reproof  for  your  toil, 

It  is  well  — that  the  guns  be  humbled, 
Che  compressor  must  check  the  recoil. 


Even  so  with  the  words  of  thy  seniors, 
And  the  orders  those  words  shall  convey. 

Every  law  is  as  naught  beside  this  one  — 
'"Ghou  shall  not  criticise,  but  obey!" 


On  the  strength  of  one  link  in  the  cable, 
'Dependeth  the  might  of  the  chain. 

lOho  knows  when  thou  mayest  be  tested  ? 
So  live  that  thou  bearest  the  strain! 

U^hen  the  ship  that  is  tired  returneth, 
IPith  the  signs  of  the  sea  showing  plain, 

Cftcn  place  her  in  dock  for  a  season, 
And  her  speed  she  reneweth  aaain. 


Saith  the  wise,  "  J-(ow  may  I  know  their  purpos- 
<Ghen  acts  without  wherefore  or  why. 

Stays  the  fool  but  one  moment  to  question, 
And  the  chance  of  his  life  passeth  by. 

Do  they  growl?  It  is  well:  be  thou  silent, 
So  that  work  goeth  forward  amain; 

£o,  the  gun  throws  her  shot  to  a  hair's  breath 
And  shouteth,  yet  none  shall  complain. 


the  Slav 


Do  they  growl  and  the  work  be  retarded? 
is  ill,  speak,  whatever  their  rank; 
half-loaded  gun  also  shouteth, 
'But  can  she  pierce  armor  with  blank? 


So  thou,  when  thou  nearest  promotion, 
And  the  peak  that  is  gilded  is  nigh, 

Give  heed  to  thy  words  and  thine  actions, 
£est  others  be  wearied  thereby. 


i  the  funnels  make  war  with  the  paintwork? 
'Do  the  decks  to  the  cannon  complain? 
Tlay,  they  know  that  some  soap  or  a  scraper 
Unites  them  as  brothers  again. 


It  is  ill  for  the  winners  to  worry, 

Cake  thy  fate  as  it  comes  with  a  smile, 

And  when  thou  art  safe  in  the  harbour 
Chey  will  envy,  but  may  not  revile. 


So  ye,  being  J-ieads  of  Departments, 

Do  your  growl  with  a  smile  on  your  lip, 
:st  ye  strive  and  in  anger  be  parted, 
And  lessen  the  might  of  your  ship. 


Uncharted  the  rocks  that  surround  thee, 
Cake  heed  that  the  channels  thou  learn, 

£est  thy  name  serve  to  buoy  for  another 
Chat  shoal,  the  Courts-CDartial  "Return. 


:  think,  in  a  moment  of  anger, 
'Cis  well  with  thy  seniors  to  fight? 
Chey  prosper,  who  burn  in  the  morning, 
Che  letters  they  wrote  over-night. 


though  Armour,  the  belt  that  protects  her, 
Che  ship  bears  the  scar  on  her  side; 

It  is  well  if  the  court  acquit  thee; 

It  were  best  hadst  thou  never  been  tried. 


"or  some  there  be,  shelved  and  forgotten, 
fQith  nothing  to  thank  for  their  fate, 
.  j  that  (on  a  half-sheet  of  foolscap), 
IDhich  a  fool  '"J-lad  the  honor  to  state—." 


Tlow  these  are  the  £aws  of  the  T2avy, 
Unwritten  and  varied  they  be; 

And  he  that  is  wise  will  observe  them, 
Goin^  down  in  his  ship  to  the  sea. 


.eem  that  thy  vessel  needs  gilding, 
And  the  dockyard  forbear  to  supply; 
'Place  thy  hand  in  thy  pocket  and  gild  her, 
Chere  be  those  who  have  risen  thereby. 


As  the  wave  rises  clear  to  the  hawse  pipe, 
IDashes  aft,  and  is  lost  in  the  wake. 

So  shall  ye  drop  astern,  all  unheeded, 
Such  time  as  the  law  ye  forsake. 


If  the  fairway  be  crowded  with  shipping, 
'Beating  homeward  the  harbour  to  win. 
is  meet  that,  lest  any  should  suffer, 
Che  steamers  pass  cautiously  in. 


Tlow  these  are  the  Caws  of  the  T2avy 
And  many  aiad  mighty  are  they. 

'But  the  hull  and  the  deck  and  the  keel 
And  the  truck  of  the  law  is  —  O'BE^f.

Since  tlte  day,    we  were  born,  we  have  been  under  the  guardianship  of  the  law. 
That  it  can  punish  became  painfully  evident  when  Dad  first  applied  force  of  slipper  to 
seat  of  trousers  for  our  violation  of  a  home  rule.    But  our  law  also  acts  as  a  guide  to 
civilized  living  and  as  a  safeguard  of  our  rights.   It  is  the  cornerstone  of  organized  so- 
ciety, based  on  the  Golden  Rule,  constructed  by  the  desire  of  the  majority  of  thinking 
men  to  guard  the  rights  of  all.   Our  law's  purpose  is  simple— to  ensure  to  everyone  the 
rights  of  civilized  living  without  the  fear  of  their  unjustified  removal.   Our  Constitution 
was  originally  set  forth,  among  other  reasons,  to  establish  justice  in  these  United  States. 
Similarly  the  Four  Freedoms  were  promulgated  to  emancipate  the  world  from  oppres- 
sion.    There  are  times  when  a  gang  of  criminals,  local  or  international,  threatens  the 
common  law  of  decency.    We  fight  today  to  enforce  that  law  for  ourselves  and  the 
world  at  large. 


One.  day  we-  tn&ded  our  civil  rights  and  civilian  clothes  for  the  U.S.  Naval  Acad- 
emy Regulations  and  the  midshipman's  uniform.  From  that  day  on  we  underwent  the 
subtle  transformation  from  civilians  to  Naval  officers  under  the  surveillance  of  the 
Academy  Regulations.  At  times  the  Reg  book  was  a  hard  taskmaster;  it  had  to  be.   Its 
most  difficult  job  was  to  harness  us  to  the  routine  life  of  the  Academy,  to  teach  us  to 
account  for  our  actions,  and  to  help  us  learn  self-discipline.    In  the  Navy,  geared  for 
war  and  spirited  action,  a  slip  can  be  fatal.   The  Reg  book  had  to  indoctrinate  us  with 
that  fact  often  and  with  lasting  impression.    The  hours  of  punishment  awarded  us  for 
shortcomings  and  misdeeds  remain  one  of  our  most  poignant  memories.   But  our  Reg 
book,  though  hard,  was  fair.  We  perceived  that  clearly  when  we  became  its  agents,  ad- 
ministering its  law  as  we  stood  junior  officer  watches  with  sword  and  white  gloves. 


^Attention  to-  tUe  Anticlei    for  the  government  of  the  United  States  Navy.' 
Each  Sunday  morning,  the  Regimental  Adjutant  recited  to  us  a  portion  of  those  articles, 
the  basis  of  naval  law.   They  are  the  origin  of  U.  S.  Navy  Regulations,  the  comprehen- 
sive, inclusive  legal  code  of  the  Navy,  the  backbone  of  Naval  Courts  and  Boards,  the 
source  of  court  martial  and  board  of  inquiry  procedure.    Navy  Regulations  furnish 
instructions  and  advice  on  any  subject  that  we  may  encounter  in  our  Naval  careers. 
There  is  another  source  of  Naval  law,  or  at  least  Naval  horse  sense.    It  is  "The  Laws 
of  the  Navy,"  by  Captain  Hopwood  of  the  Royal  Navy.  That  little  poem  contains  the 
best  possible  counsel  for  sea-faring  men— common  sense.   Because  we  believe  that  law, 
the  cornerstone  of  all  society,  civil  or  Naval,  is  nothing  more  than  common  sense 
couched  in  legal  phraseology,  and  because  we  maintain  that  the  most  vital  need  in  the 
world  today  is  common  sense,  we  dedicate  the  1946  Luckv  Bag  to  the  "LAWS  OF  THE 
NAVY."

-"~~^—'~' i u     ANNOUNCEMENT  THAT   launched   the   1946 
(^0  c")   LUCKY  BAG  boomed  through  the  Mess  Hall 

^ — ^  one  evening  in  early  February:  "The  Com- 
mandant has  approved  the  election  of  the  following  offi- 
cers for  the  1946  LUCKY  BAG:  D.  G.  Iselin,  Editor; 
\  C.  Braseth,  Business  Manager."  Immediately  the  two 
tackled  their  work  in  order  to  produce  the  best  'Bag"  in 
the  history  ot  the  Regiment.  Thev  conferred  on  bids  bv 
printers,  engravers,  and  photographers;  they  concurred 
on  the  happy  selection  of  Jahn  and  Oilier  to  engrave  the 
pictures.  Thomsen-Ellis-Hutton  to  print  the  book,  and 
[oseph  Schiff  to  take  the  photographs.  At  the  same  time, 
Don  those  his  assistants.  He  selected  Chan  Beach,  "Jig- 
[ig"  Collins,  and  Ed  Sheehy  for  his  trio  of  right-hand  men 
and  assigned  the  various  divisions  of  the  book  to  his 
section  editors. 

\s  soon  as  the  staff  determined  the  contents  of  our 
book.  Hartley  Bancroft  had  the  Academy  scene  popping 
with  Hash  bulbs,  furnishing  pictorial  records  of  our  three 
years  by  the  Severn.  Bancroft  and  his  photographers  had 
a  tedious  task,  demanding  long  hours  in  dark  rooms  and 
short  notice  for  snapping  shutters. 

Meanwhile.  "Bras    hibernated  in  order  to  plan  our 


budget.  He  too  chose  an  able  staff  to  help  him  jiggle  in- 
come and  outlay.  Bill  Slesnick  contracted  with  adver- 
tisers  in  a  drive  to  decorate  the  black  ink  side  of  our 
ledger;  the  circulation  staff,  under  "Sandy"  Sandeford 
and  Jim  Weirich,  drummed  up  sales  in  Bancroft  Hall. 
"Ace"  Kloss  was  selected  to  coordinate  our  work  with 
our  engravers.  "Bras"  himself  frequently  warned  the 
writers  not  to  be  so  extravagant  with  our  hardearned 
and  not  too  plentiful  funds. 

By  the  end  of  our  youngster  year,  Editor  Iselin  had 
the  keel  of  the  "Bag"  laid  and  the  hull  well  under  con- 
struction. First  of  the  staff  to  get  under  way  was  Dan 
Walker,  whose  headache  consisted  of  a  mere  eleven  hun- 
dred biographies,  formal  portraits,  and  informal  snaps. 
With  the  assistance  of  Managing  Editor  Beach,  he  com- 
pleted his  section  by  Christmas.  Iselin  and  Beach  col- 
laborated on  the  introductory  pages  to  present  a  colorful 
beginning  to  our  book.  During  the  fall  and  winter  terms 
our  staff  worked  up  a  full  head  of  steam.  Plebe  Summer 
section  editor  Toll  supervised  the  yard  pictures  and  re- 
corded our  first  reactions  to  the  Academy.  The  perils  of 
plebe  year  were  recounted  by  Associate  Editor  Sheehy; 
the  carefree  days  we  enjoyed  as  youngsters  were  related

mary of  first  class  life.  Hard-working  Adam  Kulik  and 
his  task  force  covered  the  year's  sports  operations,  a 
mammoth  undertaking.  Over  them  all  was  our  ever- 
present  editor,  supervising,  editing,  aiding  everyone  to 
make  those  deadlines. 

Great  credit  is  due  our  Officer  Representative,  Com- 
mander McCombs,  who  guided  us  from  the  days  when 


the  book  was  just  a  dream  until  our  final  deadline  was  in 
sight.  He  was  always  willing  to  give  us  a  hand,  always 
ready  with  timely  advice  when  we  needed  it. 

Composing  the  1946  LUCKY  BAG  called  for  long 
hours  of  hard  work  with  many  headaches,  searching  for 
the  right  picture,  seeking  the  best  words  for  the  narra- 
tive. But  ours  was  not  a  thankless  job,  for  we  were  striv- 
ing to  produce  a  lasting  record  of  our  years  together  in 
the  Academy.

First  call  for  the 
pilgrimage  to  Bancroft 


To  begin  properly  the  story  of  the  Class  of  '46  we  would 
have  to  thread  together  more  than  a  thousand  different 
origins.  And  yet  we  find  one  all-important  incident  that 
1200  of  us  had  in  common— the  arrival  late  in  May  or 
early  in  June,  1942,  of  a  long,  formal  Navy  Department 
envelope.  Civilian  and  sailor  alike  read  the  long-awaited 


news:  "Having  been  appointed  a  midshipman  in  the 
United  States  Naval  Academy,  you  will  report  .  .  ."  With 
these  words  came  the  fulfillment  of  a  lifelong  ambition. 
When  the  anticipated  day  arrived,  we  packed  our  bags, 
kissed  Mom  goodbye,  and  began  that  long  ride  to  Annap- 
olis. Twelve  hundred  strong  we  descended  upon  our 
future  home— from  Oregon  and  Vermont,  from  New  York 
and  Colorado,  from  Chicago,  Illinois  and  San  Diego, 
California.  For  most  of  us  it  was  our  first  view  of  the 
Academy.  But  the  prize,  though  close  at  hand,  was  not 
yet  won— our  first  few  days  were  spent  not  in  Bancroft, 
but  in  town.  Physical  exams  were  the  order  of  the  day, 
and  we  stepped  forth  to  carry  out  our  first  order.

PHYSI-QUIZ 

There  still  remained  before  us  one  last  obstacle— the 
physical  exam.  Our  last  three  days  as  civilians— would 
we  get  the  green  light  from  the  doctors?  Each  morning 
we  reported  to  sick  bay;  more  tests,  more  questions;  but 
would  we  pass— no  answer.  Room  five,  room  nine,  room 
two,  an  eyechart,  a  stethoscope,  a  dentist's  probe— the 
doctors  checked  everything  from  flat  feet  to  an  irregular 
ticker,  from  tuberculosis  to  hay  fever.  It's  a  wonder  we 
weren't  underweight  from  sweating  out  these  days.  Now 
this  one,  now  that  one  came  from  the  dentist  or  eye  doc- 
tor, shaking  his  head.  The  medicos  had  a  field  day  wash- 
ing out  a  lot  of  hopefuls.  At  last  a  man  with  flashy  stripes 
said  from  across  a  desk,  "You're  all  right,  son,  but  take 
care  of  those  eyes."  We  were  in— mentally  and  physically.

DO  PROMISE... 


We  seemed  small,  talked  in  whispers,  and  were  humbly 
awed  by  the  impressiveness  of  the  Hall  made  Memorial 
tli rough  the  glorious  deeds  of  past  heroes— heroes  of  the 
Service  of  which  we  were  soon  to  become  a  living  part. 
With  the  oath,  we  became  Midshipmen  of  the  United 
States  Navy.  We  walked  into  Memorial  Hall  as  students, 
workers,  sailors;  we  marched  out  as  members  of  the  class 
of  1946. 


Past  heroes  lend  inspiration  for  the  future 


1076  days  to  go 


BANCROF  f,  /tele  we  casne .  .  . 


The  actuality  of  midshipmendom  crashed  upon  us  im- 
mediately. First  it  was  the  numbers  racket:  room  and 
rifle,  cutter  crew  and  chow  table,  company  and  laundry. 
Then  it  was  stencilling:  white  works  on  the  outside,  col- 
lars on  the  inside,  skivvies  on  the  front,  belts  on  the  back, 
everywhere  on  the  hands.  Next  came  the  bell  system: 
formation  bell,  late  bell,  absent  bell,  fire  bell,  taps  bell, 
and  many  more  to  make  the  bewildered  plebe  wonder 
just  what  was  going  on.  If  you  did  one  thing,  you  should 
have  done  the  other.  No  wonder  we  became  fatalists; 
we  couldn't  win!

And  so  began  the  great  adventure  —  the 
huge  question  mark.  For  our  first  month 
at  the  Academy,  King  Confusion  reigned 
supreme.  Stencilling  had  to  be  done,  but

BATTALION  OFFICERS 

There  were  the  couriers  of  justice,  the  custodians  of  discipline,  the  officers 
who  applied  in  a  most  vivid  manner  the  full  meaning  of  the  "Laws  of  the 
Navy."  These  were  our  company  officers,  our  battalion  officers,  our  Executive 
Officer.  These  were  the  men  delegated  to  mold  twelve  hundred  of  us  into  offi- 
cer material.  A  tremendous  task  was  theirs,  meeting  new  and  different  situa- 
tions daily.  To  measure  their  success  in  terms  of  extra  duty  or  Forms  2  is 
hardly  fair.  The  criterion  of  their  handiwork  lay  in  the  Class  of  1946,  eleven 
hundred  and  seventy  strong,  now  a  motley  aggregation  of  untrained  boys 
soon  to  emerge  as  a  coordinated  team,  ready  in  all  respects  to  meet  the  tre- 
mendous requirements  of  a  wartime  Navy.

MIDSHIPMEN'S    STORE    OFFICER 


HEAD   OF    DEPARTMENT   OF   HYGIENE 


The  midshipmen's  store  lay  just  across  No  Man's  Land. 
From  our  sheltered  third  wing  retreat  we  made  suicide 
dashes  across  the  youngster-inhibited  first  wing.  Amid 
varying  commands  of  "Sound  off,"  "Where  you  from, 
Mister?"  and  "Detail  halt,"  beaten  but  not  deterred,  we 
squared  our  corners  to  the  basement.  Efficiently  as  our 
midshipmen's  store  was  operated  under  the  tutelage  of 
Captain  Randolph,  the  fourth  class  patronage  hit  its 
lowest  ebb. 

But  Captain  Pollard's  Department  of  Hygiene  was 
another  story.  Sick  bay  presented  no  perilous  routes  or 
secret  ambushes.  As  plebes  we  learned  to  regard  a  gash 
on  the  arm  as  far  less  dangerous  than  a  tortuous  trip  to 
the  midshipmen's  store.

where. We  soon  learned  deep  respect  for  the  lowly  cut- 
ter, that  35-foot  wooden  structure  that  harnessed  ten  men 
to  its  medieval  methods  of  propulsion.  Coxswain's  billet 
was  alwavs  desirable,  but  the  chiefs  had  that  spot  well 
in  hand.  Who  will  ever  forget  Shorty's  last  minute  in- 
structions as  we  lowered  away  together  or  R.M.B.'s  faith- 
ful megaphone  bellowing  orders  from  the  control  launch. 
We  learned  the  hard  way,  but  we  learned.

Tin  i  edioi  S  HOI  RS  that  came  most  frequently  were  those  fatiguing 
infantry  drills.  Our  first  period  was  a  training  movie,  but  every 
other  day  found  us  escorting  the  plebes  favorite,  if  only,  drag- 
Miss  Springfield.  At  first  we  seemed  a  ragged  group  of  recruits, 
but  by  midsummer  we  were  marching  with  true  precision  under 
tin-  leadership  ol  our  own  stripers.  What  do  we  do  in  the  Navy? 
We  march,  we  march,  we  march.

Eventually  we  learned  that  all  Seamo  drills  did  not 
end  up  at  the  cutter  shed.  Before  the  summer  was  over, 
we  were  able  to  get  in  many  happy  hours  of  sailing.  It 
was  the  first  venture  on  water  for  many  a  landlubber,  and 
despite  the  tangled  rigging  and  upside-down  sails,  the 
arguments  over  the  right  of  way  and  "buoy  room,"  they 
were  still  our  most  enjoyable  drills  during  the  summer.

Some  of  us  gained  the  coveted  experts'  ribbon— others 
were  content  to  spend  the  major  part  of  their  time  on  the 
third  day.  But  all  of  us  gained  experience  and  confidence 
in  handling  small  arms.  The  hot,  sweaty  days  spent  at 
the  rifle  range  were  our  basic  ordnance  training— the  part 
we  had  to  get  before  we  could  proceed  to  a  consideration 
of  the  bigger  guns  and  more  complicated  equipment. 
The  basic  principles  were  the  same— proper  aim  meant  a 
bullseye,  proper  safety  would  allow  us  to  shoot  again.

The  physical  training  department  they  called  it,  and  very  apro-

routine,  and  in  Natatorium  drills  not  a  few  of  us  qualified  as  poten- 
tial Sub  Squad  aspirants.  Inter-company  sports  provided  the 
enigma  of  competition.  Softball  championships  were  in  the  offing 
on  Worden  Field,  and  MacDonough  Hall  soon  vibrated  with  the 
cheers  of  loyal  supporters  at  Tuesdav  night  battalion  boxing 
matches.

Seven  times  a  day,  seven  days  a  week  the  late  bell  threw 
its  three  minute  challenge  at  us.  Many  there  were  who 
faltered  in  the  first  round,  but  with  plenty  of  daily  prac- 
tice we  managed  to  gauge  the  length  of  the  hundred  and 
eighty  seconds  from  formation  to  late  bell.  As  we  be- 
came proficient,  we  found  that  only  the  last  thirty  sec- 
onds were  the  vital  ones.

A  a  liberty,  da  . 


\w\  rRADrnoN  has  it  that  liberty  is  a  privilege,  not  a 
right  As  plebes,  we  soon  learned  that  it  was  neither  a 
privilege  nor  a  right.  The  little  blue  hook,  entitled  "Spe- 
cial Instructions,  Fourth  Class  Summer"  made  it  quite 
clear  that  midshipmen  ol  the  fourth  class  were  not  al- 


lowed to  leave  the  Academic  limits.  At  first,  overwhelmed 
with  the  work  and  routine,  we  were  content  to  relax  on 
the  weekends.  We  soon  learned  of  the  many  recreational 
possibilities  within  the  walls,  and  the  term  Yard  and 
Recreational  Liberty  took  on  new  meaning.

Thus,  while  the  first  and  third  class  sauntered  out  the 
gate  to  sample  the  pleasures  of  Crabtown,  we  of  the 
fourth  class  began  to  know  and  appreciate  the  yard  itself. 
We  spent  many  leisure  hours  wandering  over  the  Acad- 
emy grounds,  admiring  the  buildings,  the  landscapings, 
and,  of  course,  the  upperclassmen's  drags.  MacDonough 


Hall  attracted  us  first,  and  we  soon  learned  of  its  mam 
recreational  facilities.  That  massive  structure  provided 
us  with  many  pleasant  hours  of  relaxation  during  the  long 
summer,  when  basketball  games  and  one-minute  boxing 
rounds  supplied  our  off-duty  enjoyment.

we  even  looked  forward  to  the  day  when  we  would  start 


our  academics  within  its  confines.  It  didn't  take  us  long 
to  appreciate  the  complete  library  that  was  the  main  part 
of  Mahan,  the  scientific  classics  housed  in  its  right-wing, 
Sampson  Hall,  and  the  mathematical  derivations  hidden 
in  the  crevices  of  Maury  Hall.

Our  tours  through  the  yard  provided  some  well-earned 
relaxation  and  also  gave  us  something  to  think  about. 
Every  building  commemorates  the  name  of  one  of  our 
Navy's  great  men,  and  every  monument  pays  tribute  to 
some  famous  part  of  the  Navy's  past.  Our  interest  was 
partly  natural,   and  partly  artificial,   for  many  of   the 


upperclass  inspired  us  to  learn  the  date  on  the  Herndon 
Monument  and  the  number  of  icicles  on  the  Jeanette 
Monument.  One  of  the  most  imposing  memorials  was 
the  Tripolitan  Monument— a  fitting  memoriam  to  the  six 
valiant  naval  officers  to  whom  it  is  dedicated.

Our  plebe  summer  acquaintance  with  the  subject  of 

Ordnance  and  Gunnery  came  in  terms  of  the  rifle  range 
and  the  simple  hut  effective  Springfield.  We  came  to  re- 
gard Ward  Hall  as  representing  the  up-to-date  versions 
of  gunnery,  the  complicated  mechanisms  and  guns  in 
which  the  first  class  were  involved.   This  newest  building 


of  the  Academic  group  stood  out  in  contrast  to  the  ancient 
historical  guns  that  were  mounted  about  the  Yard.  The 
weapons  that  it  housed  intrigued  us,  but  we  were  forced 
to  turn  our  minds  to  forthcoming  trips  to  our  ordnance 
classes— the  rifle  range.

DAHLGREN  HALL

but  da  dud  the*  <JiapA, 


We  were  acquainted  early  with  the  spacious  dimensions 
of  Dahlgren  Hall,  for  here  it  was  that  we  took  up  our 
first  phases  of  infantry  instruction.  We  could  not  help 
but  let  our  mind  wander  to  the  future  years  when  we 
would  be  able  to  escort  to  the  hops  that  are  a  traditional 
part  of  Dahlgren.   On  Saturday  nights  we  lined  the  bal- 


conies to  see  the  armory  transformed  from  a  grim  array 
of  three  thousand  rifles  into  a  panorama  of  colorful 
dresses  and  beautiful  girls.  The  contrast  of  music  and 
dancing  with  infantry  drills  was  an  inevitable  part  of 
every  Midshipman's  memories  of  Dahlgren  Hall. 


31 


'I'm  CHAPEL  WAS  more  than  just  another  building  ill  the 
Yard.  We  came  to  know  it  as  the  spiritual  shrine  of  the 
Naval  Academy.  Below  the  great  dona;  still  rests  the 
crypi  of  [olm  Paul  Jones,  the  father  o(  our  Navy.  The 
copper  dome 


surmounting  the  Chapel  itself,  lias  long 


served  as  the  landmark  of  the  Academy  to  midshipmen 
returning  from  cruise,  and  to  us  plebes,  it  was  the  land- 
mark of  serenity  and  peacefulness  in  our  busy  lives.  The 
Chapel  was,  to  us,  a  beautiful  and  inspiring  monument 
to  the  religious  faith  of  our  Navy.

...andwe.  putttd  SERENITY  Utete 

As  soon  as  we  were  considered  able  to  march  correctly, 
the  weekly  Chapel  service  became  an  integral  part  of  our 
lives.  As  we  worshipped,  we  were  inspired  by  the  beauti- 
ful stained  glass  windows,  dedicated  to  three  great  Naval 
heroes— Parker,  Farragut,  and  Sampson.  It  was  here  that 
we  came  to  know  Chaplain  Thomas,  and  to  appreciate 
his  constant  endeavors  to  help  all  of  us.  None  of  us  will 
ever  forget  the  first  Chapel  services  we  attended,  and  the 
hymn,  "For  Those  in  Peril  on  the  Sea,"  a  beautiful  and 
inspiring  prayer  for  the  men  of  our  fighting  Navy.

The  end  of  every  trd?  through  the  Yard  was  the  same. 

Other  buildings  housed  the  elements  of  education  but 

Bancroft  was  our  homo.  Inside  this  building  we  found 
all  the  necessities,  if  not  quite  all  the  comforts  of  life.  It 
took  us  days  to  find  the  store  and  weeks  to  locate  the 
tailor  shop,  but  soon  we  learned  the  shortcuts  to  sick  bay 


and  the  route  to  the  Canteen.  The  three  miles  of  cor- 
ridors were  no  longer  rumors,  but  very  real  passageways, 
filled  with  cruise  boxes  and  youngsters,  with  plebes  and 
square  corners.  As  quickly  as  we  became  a  part  of  Ban- 
croft did  Bancroft  become  a  part  of  us.

BANCROFT  HALL 


.  .  .  we  looked  ahead 


Here  we  stood  just  a  few  months  before  as  we  started 
our  life  as  midshipmen.  Already  we  had  begun  to  look 
ahead  to  the  day  when  we  would  leave  Bancroft  to  take 
up  our  place  in  the  Navy.  We  could  not  help  but  think 
of  the  classes  that  had  gone  before  us  as  we  remembered 


that  the  first  part  of  Bancroft  Hall  was  erected  in  1898. 
It  had  served  as  the  home  of  thousands  of  Navy  men  be- 
fore us,  and  Bancroft  Hall  will  always  remain  to  us  the 
most  outstanding  building  of  the  Academy,  because  it 
symbolized  our  three  years  of  apprenticeship  to  the  Navy.

difficult  to  remind  ourselves  of  the  "traditions  of  the 
Service  of  which  we  arc  a  part.  Tecumseh  symbolized 
the  struggle  to  survive,  and  scr\fd  often  to  renew  that 


spirit  of  self-confidence  when  we  needed  it  most.  We 
were  new,  but  we  were  already  a  part  of  the  Navy  as  we 
learned  the  prominent  role  that  tradition  and  custom 
play  in  the  Service  we  had  recently  joined.

Moving  day 


Moving  into  the  Regiment  meant  more  than  executive 
consolidation.  Move  we  did— all  the  uniforms  we  had 
accumulated,  the  boxes  that  weren't  heavy  until  we 
walked  halfway,  and  every  inch  was  now  upperclass  ter- 
ritory. A  gamut  of  admonishment  added  to  our  load— 
and  then  our  new  room,  and  maybe  a  new  roommate. 
We  quickly  realized  that  the  Regiment  into  which  we 
had  moved  was  two-thirds  upperclass,  anxious  to  see  our 
rooms  and  our  lockers  shaped  into  something  a  little 
cleaner  and  a  little  neater  than  we  thought  possible.

No  Admiral  here 


For  a  plebe  the  most  intriguing  word  in  the  Academy  is 
"rate".  Does  it  mean  compulsion  or  authorization?  It 
wasn't  long  before  we  noticed  the  distinction  between 
the  two.  We  rated  dragging  to  the  Army  game,  but  we 
also  rated  squaring  corners,  chop-chopping  to  forma- 
tions, enjoying  Saturday  liberty  or  Sunday  afternoons  at 
some  athletic  event,  and  other  sundry  privileges  and 
duties.  Then,  too,  it  was  inconvenient  to  be  always  in 
uniform,  but  like  all  plebes,  we  stuck  to  our  rates,  both 
restrictions  and  privileges.  When  youngster  year  arrived, 
we  remembered  our  plebe  year  and  said,  "We  had  to  do

There's  nothing  we  plebes  enjoyed  more  than  our  three 
daily  trips  to  the  Mess  Hall.  We  never  saw  more  chow 
which  we  didn't  eat  in  all  our  lives.  "Rotating"  made  it 
possible  for  us  to  become  acquainted  with  each  individual 
upper  classman,  who  always  kept  the  conversation  flow- 
ing. Sunday  evening  happy  hours  always  were  a  mys- 
tery; who's  playing  the  joke  on  whom?  And  the  climax 
came  in  the  chairs,  or  lack  of  same,  which  could  be  used 
for  a  variety  of  purposes. 


Can  you  figure  this  one  out?

We  were  only  slightly  acquainted  with  the  ins  and  outs 
of  Bancroft  procedure  when  we  were  confronted  with 
our  first  watch,  and  what  a  nerve-wracking,  confusing 
ordeal  it  was!  Then  there  was  the  Reg  book,  two  inches  of 
"what  if  you  do,  or  don't  do,  they  fry  you  for  it."  We 
could  have  mastered  the  Koran  more  easily.  Gradually, 
however,  as  the  ways  of  the  service  became  ingrained  in 
our  habits  and  our  deeds,  civilian  manners  slipped  away 
and  were  replaced  by  discipline  and  devotion  to  duty. 
The  curriculum  of  academics,  athletics,  and  extra-cur- 
ricular activities  set  a  hard  pace  for  us,  and  as  winter  ap- 
proached we  nervously  anticipated  our  first  exams.  After 
some  worried  cramming,  we  marched  over  to  cross  our 
initial  river.   Only  forty-six  more  to  go.

Our  frequent  trips  to  Maury  Hall  to  delve  into  the 
realms  of  Mathematics  started  with  the  placement  exam- 
inations plebe  summer.  A  quiet  enough  beginning,  but 
once  in  the  toils  of  algebra  and  trigonometry,  plebe  year 
loomed  as  an  insurmountable  obstacle.  Although  we  felt 
that  we  had  reached  the  millennium,  we  were  rudely 
awakened  youngster  year  when  we  hit  calculus  and  finally 
mechanics.  While  the  professors  labored  long  and  pa- 
tiently to  make  the  midshipmen  understand  that  the 
"sum  of  the  forces  equals  zero",  many  of  us  wished  that 
Newton  had  never  seen  the  light  of  day.  However,  when 
the  last  classes  were  over  we  were  all  ready  to  pass  the 
time-honored  refrain  on  to  wondering  plebes— "math, 
sheer  fruit." 

What's  funny  about  Math?

SATURDAY  LIBERTIES 

One  week  of  "Ac"  year  was  enough  to  seal  our  doom. 
Saturday  noon  we  harnessed  our  books  to  the  second 
shelf  of  the  desk  and  invaded  Annapolis,  the  town— after, 
of  course,  we  had  lent  our  verbal  support  to  the  varsity 
and  plebe  sports  events  of  the  afternoon.  What  to  do 
when  once  outside  the  oh-so-confining  walls  was  a  prob- 
lem in  itself,  but  the  solution  was  always  the  same:  a 
movie,  a  tea  fight  at  Carvel,  and  a  visit  to  one  of  the  city's 
chow  palaces.  To  a  civilian  it  was  just  another  afternoon, 
but  to  us,  our  actions  were  enlivened  with  the  spice  of 
freedom.

\w\  in  getting  out  to  Annapolis  on  Saturdays,  the 
other  beacon  light  of  plebe  year  freedom  was  a  football 
trip  to  Baltimore.  On  these  excursions  we  enjoyed  a  boat 
ride  up  the  Chesapeake,  mass  singing,  eold  box  lunches, 
and  the  long  trek  to  the  stadium.  After  the  game  came 
libert)  in  Baltimore.  \11  restraint  was  thrown  off  and  mid- 
shipmen returned  tired  and  happ\  for  the  cruise  back. 
Our  other  social  highlight  was  the  Army-Navy  game. 
This  year  we  were  the  hosts  to  the  Kaydets.  As  plebes  it 
was  the  first  ehaneo  that  we  had  to  drag.    Although  we 

did  not  rate  the  hop,    16  took  tin's  opportunity  to  trot  out 
its  queens,  making  lowly  plebes  kings  for  a  day.

German.  Plebe  year  we  juggled  the  intricacies  of  the 
grammar  and  vocabulary  of  a  new  language.  While  the 
Savvy  section  read  stories,  the  Buckets  toiled  on  ele- 
mentary sentences.  Youngster  year  we  took  up  the  con- 
versational aspect  of  the  language  with  the  Naval  Phrase- 
ology course  offering  us  a  chance  to  reproduce  situations 
which  we  were  liable  to  meet  in  foreign  countries.

CHRISTMAS  LEAVE 

And  then  came  Christmas  leave!  For  us,  a  welcome 
shot  of  adrenalin  to  pick  up  our  spirits  and  carry  us 
through  till  June.  Kings  were  we  for  a  few  short  fleet- 
ing days— not  to  mention  those  oh-so-wonderful  nights. 
For  as  we  sped  through  the  gates,  we  cast  off  the  robes 
of  plebedom's  insignificance  and  once  again  assumed 
the  self-confident,  easy-going  manner  we  had  so  re- 
luctantly relinquished  upon  entering  the  Naval  Acad- 
emy. Once  at  home,  we  realized  we  were  "it".  We 
crammed  fun  and  laughter  into  every  minute,  storing 
wonderful  memories  to  relive  when  we  again  resumed 
our  roles  as  plebes.

THE  DARK  AGES 


It  dragged.  It  crept.  The  days  seemed  so  long  and  the 
nights  so  short.  Winter  term  was  the  nadir  of  our  fourth 
class  existence.  The  colorful  football  atmosphere  of  Fall 
term  was  missing.  In  its  stead  we  had  the  bleak,  wintry 
days  of  P-works  and  room  inspections,  academics  and 
executive  lectures.  In  retrospect,  the  Wednesday  after- 
noon formal  room  inspections  stand  out  in  our  minds.  It 
was  not  so  long  ago  that  we  stood  at  parade  rest  for  thirty 
or  forty  minutes  waiting  for  the  inspector  to  put  in  his 
appearance.  As  the  minutes  ticked  away,  we  could  see 
the  dust,  so  recently  stirred  up,  gradually  settle  down  to 
mar  our  glistening  desks  and  polished  lockers.  We  can 
remember  our  repeated  and  stealthy  sallies  to  the  corners 
of  the  room,  to  the  closet,  and  to  our  lockers  when  we 
discovered  some  dust  or  dirt  we  had  not  seen  before. 
Then  too,  there  were  those  Saturday  morning  Steam  P- 
works,  nightmares  to  those  of  us  who  couldn't  handle  the 


Unaccustomed  as  I  am  to  public  speaking  .  . 


T-square,  triangles,  and  pencils  like  knives  and  forks. 
Some  of  us  could,  and  we  must  have  incurred  the  envy  of 
our  classmates  as  we  calmly  closed  our  steam  kits  while 
they  were  yet  tangling  with  the  problem.  Nor  did  a  rainy 
Wednesday  drill  period  carry  with  it  any  hope  of  an  extra 
happy  hour— not  so  long  as  our  company  officers  felt  in- 
clined to  teach  us  theory  of  leadership.  And  they  were 
usually  so  inclined.  Yes,  those  were  the  days  when  men 
were  men,  and  plebes  were  plebes!

THE  RENAISSANCE...  We.  <ha<f. 

To  those  of  us  who  sorely  missed  the  rustle  of  the  eve- 
ning gown  and  the  aroma  of  perfume,  the  granting  of 
escorting  privileges  to  the  fourth  class  came  as  a  wel- 
come strain.  Immediately  the  telegraph  offices,  mail 
chutes,  and  telephone  lines  out  of  Annapolis  were 
chocked  with  fourth  class  "chits"  for  the  dragging  occa- 
sions, our  never-to-be-forgotten  Navy  Relief  show  and 
Masqueraders'  play.  Soon  the  exciting  days  arrived,  and 
with  them  came  the  usual  percentage  of  "CIS's".  But 
those  of  us  whom  fortune  favored  managed  to  find  our 
way  back  into  the  social  world  whence  we  had  been 
ostracized  as  plebes.  We  crowded  the  movies  on  Satur- 
day afternoon,  and  showed  our  drags  the  grandeur  of  our 
magnificent  yard.  On  Sunday,  we  sat  around  at  the 
house,  trying  to  slow  the  inevitable  hands  of  time.  It  was 
a  hitter  pill  to  return  to  our  fourth  class  rates.  Our  Red 
Mike  classmates  gloated  as  they  watched  us  in  our  new- 
est plight.  But,  we  countered  with  feeble  hearts,  it  was 
well  worth  it!

Out  iiMt  JUNE  WEEK 

The  humiliations  and  indignities  of  plebe  year  were  al- 
most forgotten  when  "No  More  Rivers"  echoed  through 
the  Mess  Hall.  June  Week  and  the  Farewell  Ball  were 
sufficient  to  let  us  forget  all  of  our  woes.  Though  we 
looked  forward  eagerly  to  the  coming  of  youngster 
stripes,  we  watched  our  first  classmen  leave  with  regret 
as  our  first  June  Week  faded  into  memory.

In    '46 


The  long  days  of  winter  passed  slowly.  Even  our  more 
spirited  and  earnest  classmates  succumbed  to  a  stoic 
frame  of  mind.  The  Academic  Departments  cleaned 
house  again  after  Winter  term  examinations,  returning 
more  of  our  friends  and  roommates  to  civilian  life  or  a 
career  for  the  duration  in  the  Army.  Those  of  us  left  to 
stagger  on  were  now  wearv  but  relieved  that  the  schol- 
astic  sword  had  struck  its  blow  leaving  us  afoot,  though 
perhaps  somewhat  scarred.  One  hundred  nights  before 
the  Class  of  1944s  graduation,  a  short-lived  but  furious 
and  despotic  regime  came  to  power.  In  the  limited  time 
allowed,  this  traditional  plebeian  revolt  descended  upon 
the  first  class  and  exacted  an  appalling  price  in  return  for 
the  many  days  of  indoctrination  and  teaching.  The  riot- 
ous encounter  passed,  leaving  with  us  a  greater  respect 
and  admiration  for  '44.  But  now  Spring  was  well  on 
the  way  toward  Summer.  With  the  end  in  sight,  we 
began  to  appreciate  how  constructive  plebe  year  had 
been  and  to  understand  why  it  is  of  such  significance  in  a 
Navy  career. 


This  time  we  watched 


A  cn&it  a  Jtxvwt 


Probably  the  first  real  indication  that  we  were  now 
recognized  as  a  class  and  not  as  individual  "boots"  came 
when  we  voted  for  the  selection  of  our  class  crest.  Many 
of  us  realized  for  the  first  time  that  we  were  being  ac- 
cepted into  that  far-flung  yet  closely-knit  fraternity  of 
men  who  follow  the  sea.  Our  crest  carries  with  it  sim- 
plicity, grandeur,  and  a  feeling  of  power.  The  picture 
conjured  up  in  our  minds— naval  might  steaming  across 
the  far  reaches  of  the  blue  Pacific  to  the  islands  of  Japan, 
on  a  globe  surmounted  by  the  proud  eagle  of  the  United 
States— is  one  which  will  remain  with  us  until  the  day 
we  die. 

This  was  our  first  bit  of  class  jewelry,  and  as  such 
came  in  for  careful  consideration  when  we  were  deciding 
how  best  to  use  it.  It  stood  for  the  many  traditions  of  the 
Academy  and  the  Service;  it  meant  closer  ties  between 
us  and  our  chosen  career,  the  Navy;  more  than  that,  it 
brought  with  it  that  feeling  of  unity  and  camaraderie 
which  will  keep  its  wearers'  classmates  in  mind  in  the 
years  beyond.

Speculation  about  cruise  had  run  rampant  during  the 
last  few  months  of  youngster  year,  and  we  didn't  know 
whether  to  be  glad  or  sorry  when  the  word  came  out  that 
we  were  due  for  a  three  weeks'  Chesapeake  pleasure 
cruise  aboard  one  of  the  oldest  battlewagons  in  the  Navy. 
We  didn't  quite  know  what  to  expect,  and  we  didn't  get 
much  of  what  we  did  expect.  A  confusing  routine  of 
watches,  drills,  lectures,  and  ship's  work  greeted  us  dur- 
ing our  first  week.  Our  "free  time"  we  spent  alternately 
scrubbing  the  deck  and  scrubbing  our  clothes.  Space  was 
limited  on  the  Arkansas,  as  we  soon  learned  while  trying 
to  find  a  free  spot  topside  for  our  mattresses.  Standing  in 
line,  dodging  boatswains  mates,  and  the  perpetual  seek- 
ing for  a  secluded  spot  in  which  to  rest,  soon  became  a 
natural  part  of  our  existence.  No  one  doubted  the  word 
of  the  officers  that  this  was  to  be  a  cruise  for  gunnery 
practice.  When  we  weren't  firing  we  were  practicing, 
and  when  we  weren't  practicing  we  were  taking  the  guns 
apart.  It  was  a  tired  and  happy  group  of  midshipmen 
that  clustered  topside  to  catch  a  first  glimpse  of  the 
Chapel  dome  as  the  Arky  came  to  anchor  at  the  end  of 


our  cruise.

Madly  we  dashed  to  Hemdon  Monument,  well  aware

croft bulkheads  reverberated  with  youngster  voices  as 
silent  plebes  were  introduced  to  corridor  drills,  ranging 
from  reciprocating  engine  demonstrations  to  garter  in- 
spections. Further  into  academic  year  we  began  fully  to 
appreciate  Smoke  Hall,  late  movies,  and  Sunday  liberty 
—three  forbidden  fruits  during  plebedom.  The  first  class 
claimed  that  its  new  privileges  were  more  abundant  and 
more  important  than  ours.  The  first  class,  however,  was 
too  removed  from  plebe  year;  it  had  practically  forgotten 
what  that  year  was  like— perhaps  it  was  as  well  that  it  had.

The  Potential  "fly-boys"  were  intent  upon  learning  as  much  as  they 
could  during  our  course  in  aerodynamics,  and  even  the  rest  of  us  be- 
came interested  in  the  physics  of  aviation.  The  drills  were  long,  but 
most  of  us  felt  that  we  were  gaining  valuable  knowledge,  and  did  our 
best  to  grasp  the  fundamentals  of  aviation,  despite  the  welcome  fact 
that  the  course  did  not  count  on  our  academic  record.

what  made  'em  fly— mostly  by  tearing  down  and  assem-

had  digested,  we  took  the  final  step  by  actually  handling

strong  desire  for  more.

Saturday,  no  doubt 


Anyone  with  a  lack  of  foresight  would  have  been 
tempted  to  remark  during  youngster  summer  that  "young- 
ster year  is  fruit."  Three  months  composed  of  leave, 
cruise,  and  a  smattering  of  academics  almost  made  us  en- 
joy the  Severn.  Even  the  peaceful  summer  days  were 
bearable  when  days  of  studies  alternated  with  YP  drilk 
or  interesting  aviation  instruction.  Bull,  Dago,  and  Math 
were  our  only  academic  worries,  and  even  the  Buckets 
could  stay  sat  with  a  minimum  of  work.  Each  Monday 
was  filled  with  a  jumble  of  vaguely  remembered  lessons 
of  the  previous  week  and  clear  recollections  of  the  week- 
end of  dragging  just  past. 

Study  hours  were  spent  without  too  much  ambition. 
The  many  themes  required  by  the  Bull  course  kept  our 
literary  abilities  to  the  front,  as  we  tried  to  prove  to  our 
profs  that  we  really  could  write  masterfully.  Math  got 
more  complicated  as  we  delved  into  the  mysteries  of  dif- 
ferential calculus,  but  no  one  could  get  very  worried 
about  it.  With  no  exams  staring  us  in  the  face  at  the  end 
of  the  term,  we  were  all  content  to  get  by  with  a  mini- 
mum of  work  and  enjoy  as  much  as  possible  the  chance 
to  take  life  easy.

From  the  first  "yea,  furlough"  to  the  time  when  we 
straggled  back  into  the  confines  of  Bancroft,  we  were  in 
the  spirit  of  leave.  This  was  to  be  our  first  summer  leave, 
all  thirty  days  of  it.  We  were  "the  spoiled  and  pampered 
pets  of  Uncle  Sam"  as  we  stepped  off  that  home-town 
train,  and  from  then  on  we  crowded  the  days  with  long 
anticipated  pleasure.  We  slept  late  and  ate  whenever  we 
desired.  We  danced  until  the  wee  small  hours,  and  still 
had  what  seemed  like  an  infinity  of  time  for  those  long 
talks  under  a  summer  moon.  And  when  we  had  nothing 
left  but  memories  to  show  for  it,  our  leave  was  still  a 
beautiful  dream.

Fall  term  of  our  youngster  year  began  with  a  jolting 
return  to  the  realities  of  Naval  Academy  life  after  a  glori- 
ous summer.  Once  again  we  turned  to  academics— basic 
mechanisms,  calculus,  Naval  history,  dago,  and  a  multi- 
tude of  other  worries.  For  the  savoirs,  Fall  term  was  just 
another  to  be  endured,  but  for  the  rest  it  was  a  weekly 
dash  to  see  the  size  of  the  steam  tree.  However,  all  was 
not  academics.  Life  had  a  much  brighter  outlook  when 
viewed  by  a  youngster.  Weekends  we  were  busy  drag- 
ging to  hops  and  football  games,  and  Sunday  afternoons 
we  "hit  the  beach"  on  liberty.  We  were  beginning  to 
enjoy  the  better  things  of  life.  Running  the  new  plebes 
was  our  primary  objective,  and  along  any  deck  of  Ban- 
croft could  be  heard  the  shout,  "Brace  up,  Mister,  square 
that  corner."  Pie  races,  garter  inspections,  questions,  and

mass  singing  lent  new  horizons  to  what  could  be  done. 
With  first  class  year  to  look  forward  to,  and  plebedom 
nothing  but  a  memory,  we  were  on  top  of  the  world. 
The  new  watches  were  slightly  confusing— especially  the 
first  time  we  were  confronted  with  the  maze  of  red  tape 
and  boat  slips  that  went  with  a  main  office  watch.  Fall 
term  was  always  the  most  pleasant  of  Academic  year,  and 
as  youngsters  we  were  ready  to  get  the  most  in  the  way 
of  pleasure  that  it  offered.

Fall  term  was  a  natural  for  youngster  dragging;  it  was 
our  first  chance  to  show  off  the  football  team  to  our 
OAO's  who  had  waited  patiently  during  plebe  year  for 
the  opportunity.  True,  we  had  to  listen  to  the  Army  game 
on  the  radio,  but  we  proclaimed  the  victory  in  traditional 
style,  none  the  less— with  a  24  hour  ringing  of  the  Japa- 
nese bell!  Our  drags  thought  it  was  so  cute  to  watch,  but 
those  who  slept  in  rooming  houses  anywhere  near  Ban- 
croft Hall  found  the  noise  a  little  too  much  to  take  at  two 
in  the  morning.  Football  was  the  big  attraction,  natu- 
rally, but  cross  country  hiking  was  a  close  second.  Mary-

MARINE    ENGINEERING    .  .  .  a  it«dy  aj,  Uueat,  ailanAfe&U 


Early  in  plebe  summer  we  met  our  first  academic  de- 
partment, Marine  Engineering,  and  from  descriptive 
geometry  to  the  final  class  in  warship  construction,  Steam 
was  an  integral  part  of  our  lives.  Not  only  did  we  take 
more  courses  from  Steam  Profs  than  any  other  set  of  in- 
structors, but  probably  worried  more  over  the  grades 
they  gave  us,  too.  It  was  through  this  long  association 
that  we  came  to  appreciate  the  vital  importance  of  engi- 
neering to  the  Navy,  and  through  it,  too,  we  learned  how 
to  handle  the  potent  substance  that  drives  our  fleets 
through  the  ocean  today— steam. 


Housed  in  three  great  halls,  the  department  spared 
little  to  make  our  instruction  as  complete  and  up-to-date 
as  possible.  Through  the  many  models  and  laboratories 
we  learned  by  actual  practice  and  experience  the  intri- 
cacies of  Naval  machinery,  thermodynamics,  and  dam- 
age control.  The  vast  drawing  rooms  atop  the  halls  also

were  the  scenes  of  many  of  our  classes  and  practical 
works,  from  plebe  drafting  to  first  class  damage  control. 

The  Department's  class  rooms,  however,  saw  our 
major  efforts.  In  these  we  were  taught  by  a  staff  of  able 
instructors.  Some  of  them  were  veterans  of  many  years 
at  sea,  with  knowledge  born  of  personal  experience  to 
offer  us.  Some  were  thermodynamic  experts  who  called 
on  years  of  study  to  help  us  understand  their  subject.  All, 
under  the  guiding  hand  of  Captain  T.  M.  Stokes,  were 
men  who  knew  their  steam  and  how  to  teach  it. 

We  began  plebe  year  with  descrip,  then  inked  our 
way  through  to  machine  drawing  where  we  assembled 
valves  and  cylinder  blocks— all  but  that  left-over  bolt— 
and  ended  up  with  a  whirlwind  tour  of  metallurgy  that 
left  us  lost  searching  for  the  eutectic  point  in  the  iron- 
iron  carbide  diagram.  Youngster  year  started  with  Rube 
Goldbergian  basic  mechanisms.  It  was  then  that  we  first 
observed  at  close  hand"  that  intrepid  band,  famous  for 
their  half-masted  ties,  the  Steam  Profs.  With  them  we 
meshed  and  rotated  through  the  wonders  of  the  epicycle 


66 


We  linked  differentials  to  epicyclic  trains  .  .  . 

and  the  linkage  and  then  went  on  to  the  Naval  machinery 
course.  There  "Bisch"  and  "Tombface"  and  all  the  lads 
helped  us  to  differentiate  between  the  three  Leslie  valves, 
and  the  end-  and  side-fired  boilers.  They  also  helped 
most  of  us  by  letting  us  know  what  our  term  averages 
were  every  Saturday  morning. 

During  first  class  summer  we  covered  internal  com- 
bustion engines,  learning  about  fuel  mixtures  and  com- 
pression ratios.  Fall  and  winter  were  spent  with  thermo. 
We  tried  for  two  terms  to  get  the  "Deacon"  to  define 
enthalpy,  but  though  he  showed  us  how  it  affected  both 
energy  drops  and  grade  drops,  he  never  revealed  what  it 
was.  Our  final  course  was  ship  construction  and  damage 
control,  in  which  we  were  taught  the  theories  of  building 
a  ship  and,  when  once  afloat,  keeping  her  that  way. 

Steam  was  far  from  an  easy  subject,  but  it  was  an 
indispensable  one.  And  few,  if  any  of  us  begrudged  the 
hours  spent  on  it,  for  if  any  of  our  studies  was  practical, 
useful,  and  well  taught,  that  subject  was  Steam.

It  was  Friday  afternoon  and  the  Regiment's  bi-weekly 
publication  was  off  the  presses,  soon  to  grace  each  mid- 
shipman's desk  and  perhaps  steal  an  hour  or  so  of  his 
evening  study  period. 

Unlike  most  college  magazines,  the  Log  claimed 
more  readers  outside  than  within  the  Academy's  limits, 
for  its  pages  follow  each  midshipman's  OAO  and  his 
family  throughout  the  nation— and  even  find  their  way 
to  the  wardrooms  of  our  ships  at  sea.  With  such  a  diver- 
sity of  readers  the  task  of  turning  out  consistently  good 
issues  was  a  job  for  a  competent  staff— and  such  a  staff 
we  had. 

With  the  help  of  Officer  Representative  Commander 
Straub,  Editor-in-Chief  Ted  Hartley  and  his  capable 
complement  found  the  formula  necessary  to  please  the

half  the  job.  To  balance  the  books  meant  hours  spent  in 
soliciting  advertisers,  more  hours  in  augmenting  circula- 
tion, and  still  more  time  in  making  the  figures  in  black 
equal  the  ones  in  red.  Editor  Hartley  and  Business  Man- 
ager John  Popa  had  their  headaches  all  right,  but  just  so 
long  as  their  staff  was  willing  to  lose  an  occasional  happy 
hour  or  to  forsake  a  few  recreation  periods— even  miss  a 
weekend  drag  or  three— the  work  was  done  on  time.  And 
they  were  always  willing. 

A  versatile  staff  it  was:  Navy's  frequent  sports  vic- 
tories ( and  infrequent  defeats )  were  always  handled  by 
Jack  Coulter's  writers,  Jack  himself  giving  the  depart- 
ment a  boost  with  "In  the  Locker  Room."  Always  good 
for  a  laugh  were  the  novelty  columns  "Shades  of  Ban- 
croft", "Salty  Sam",  and  "Back  Talk"— and,  of  course, 
those  unforgettable  Migool  cartoons.  After  hours  spent 
in  sifting  Navy  communiques,  Harry  Watson's  staff  gave 
us  Professional  Notes,  presenting  the  current  highlights 
of  Navy  topics  at  home  and  afloat.  Time  for  make-up, 
and  Dienst,  Babbitt,  Beach,  and  Jordan  went  into  action, 
while  Lane  was  already  busy  shooting  pictures  for  the 
next  issue.  And  thus  the  cycle.  Work?  Sure,  but  the  re- 
sults were  worth  it.

The  Trident  Society  embodied  all  the  subsidiary  clubs 
which  have  as  their  purpose  the  furthering  of  arts  and 
letters.  Artists,  writers,  photographers,  and  speakers  all 
found  an  outlet  for  their  abilities  in  this  organization. 

One  of  the  main  publications  was  the  quarterly  issued 
Trident  magazine.  It  combined  the  artistic  talents  of  all 
classes  to  give  the  outside  a  literary,  artistic,  and  profes- 
sional view  of  the  Naval  Academy  and  the  Navy.  The 
regular  folios  of  photographs  reproduced  in  the  magazine 
were  proof  of  the  midshipmen's  camera  abilities.  Its 
many  features  and  well-written  articles  have  made  it  one 
of  the  finest  college  periodicals  of  its  type  in  the  country.

TRIDENT  CALENDAR 

This  often-used  Calendar  was  one  of  the  most  popular 
publications  of  the  Academy.  Bound  in  artistic  morocco, 
its  memo-filled  pages  did  constant  duty  for  every  owner. 
These  calendars  were  an  integral  part  of  every  midship- 
man's desk,  and  served  to  remind  him  of  everything  from 
a  forthcoming  watch  to  the  date  of  the  next  hop.  The 
days  went  pretty  fast  when  you  took  them  by  weeks. 
Photographs  and  historical  cartoons  of  the  Academy 
made  it  popular  with  anyone  interested  in  the  Academy. 
This  year's  calendar,  dedicated  to  the  Academy  centen- 
nial, was  a  worthy  tribute  to  the  midshipmen  who  spent 
many  hours  in  its  preparation.

The  Department  of  Electrical  Engineering  bequeathed 
us  our  first  prob  sheets  which  we  thought  would  be  the 
death  of  us.  The  first  battle  with  the  beloved  Skinny  De- 
partment was  a  course  in  cook-book  style  chemical  ex-

as  interpreted  by  "Ion"  and  "Kayo",  enabled  us  to  pro- 
duce something,  anyhow,  usually  a  stench  and  a  mess,  in 
the  weekly  lab  sessions.  First  term  was  general,  and 
many  of  us  were  generally  confused.  Qualitative  analy- 
sis, second  term,  brought  us  unknowns,  which  ordinarily 
remained  unknown,  unless  we  found  something  even  the 
master  gouge  didn't  recognize. 

By  spring  term  we  grasped  hopefully  at  physics,  and 
then  gasped  desperately  at  F  equals  MA.    Here  in  this

course  «  as  a  fi\  e  foot  shelf  all  in  one  erudite  book.  Ensign 
fensen  said  it  was  all  a  matter  of  units,  and  we  found 
eveu  a  rifle  number  useful  for  conversion.    This  was 

spring  term,  when  a  young  man's  fancy  lightly  turns,  and 
in  the  department  it  began  to  rotate,  gyroscope  fashion. 
B\  the  end  oi  the  term  there  wasn't  a  man  who  hadn't 
tied  himself  into  a  pretzel  solving  a  gyroscope  problem. 
Precession,  like  prosperity,  was  always  just  around  some 
corner,  but  which  finger  pointed  the  way?  We  finally 
processed  right  into  summer  Electrical  Engineering. 

During  youngster  summer,  fresh  from  YP  cruising 
and  between  weekends  replete  with  drags,  we  studied 
the  physics  o\  flight.  Aerodynamics,  or  "How  they  keep 
cm  flying"  convinced  us  Bernoulli  was  a  wizard  and  it 
\\  as  all  supernatural.  Therefore  we  left  it  alone.  Besides, 
in  the  stifling  heat  of  the  Severn  summer,  the  only  pos- 
sible purpose  of  a  Skinm  profs  lecture  was  to  provide 
the  proper  atmosphere  for  a  little  daytime  siesta— far 
more  restful  than  the  customary  evening  slumber.  Across 
the  river,  VN8  proved  it  did  work,  so  we  flew,  no  ques- 
tions asked.  We  knew  equations  for  lift  and  drag,  but 
depended  more  on  the  pilot  and  joy-stick  than  a  slipstick. 
Though  the  embryonic  fly-boys  became  more  convinced, 
many  of  us  became  more  fond  of  terra  firma,  and  less  sure 
of  our  appetites  before  climbing  into  a  cockpit. 

Fall  term.  Bernoulli  was  still  with  us,  but  far  in  the 
lead  when  we  re-cracked  Hausman  and  Slack  to  study 
the  mechanics  of  gases.  There  were  qualities  of  hot  air 
th.it  could  be  expressed  by  formulae,  apparently.  We 
met  isotherms  and  adiabats,  which  Pinkston  swore  we'd 
meet  again,  disguised  in  a  Mollier  chart  first  class  year  in 
Steam.    We  decided  to  wait. 

Then  a  lot  ol  water  flowed  under  the  bridge,  as  we 
(  rossed  the  mechanics  ol  fluids.  Regarding  that,  we 
weren't  verj  dry  behind  the  ears.   The  department  tried

to  shed  some  light  on  the  subject  and  threw  in  lenses  and 
color.  But  light  left  us  in  the  dark;  even  the  technicolor 
remained  a  blur.  The  eye,  we  found,  was  a  camera,  but 
the  quizzes  showed  it  didn't  always  record.  Perhaps  it 
was  our  inability  to  focus  attention  on  such  trivial  details 
as  the  Stefan-Boltzmann  theory  of  color  perception  and 
the  Bohr  lines  of  the  spectrum,  which  was  boring  enough 
to  us. 

Finally  the  E.  E.  Department  came  into  its  own;  we 
really  studied  electricity,  D.  C,  A.  C,  and  Radio,  a  quick 
triple  play  that  almost  retired  our  side  without  a  score. 

Then  came  radio,  a  lifelong  comfort  and  companion 
transformed  into  a  baffling  mystery.  Tuned  circuits, 
wave  traps,  oscillators,  screen-grid  tubes,  and  shunt  feeds 
left  us  with  a  reverent  respect  for  Marconi  and  Hertz.  At 
times  radio  labs  were  downright  enjoyable,  though,  be- 
cause by  plugging  this  resistor  into  that  tube,  hooking  a 
jump  lead  into  condenser  and  inductance  coil,  and  weav- 
ing a  running  ground  through  the  whole  mess,  we  were 
able  to  listen  to  the  lab's  local  transmitter  play  blues  by 
Basie— and  over  a  radio  we  made  ourselves. 

With  the  study  of  electricity— its  manifold  uses  and 
services,  we  were  working  on  the  course  in  which  our  de- 
gree was  to  be  given.  Our  application  to  Ordnance,  Mar- 
ine Engineering,  Seamanship  and  Navigation  was  not 
slighted— this  course  shared  the  academic  spotlight  of 
first  class  year  and  many  of  us  felt  that  we  were  truly 
being  treated  to  an  A-l  course. 


We  figured  out  what  we  did  after  we  did  it

<7Ae  LUCKY  BAG  ^  *t*ti*t 

The  first  move  toward  compiling  and  publishing  the 
LUCKY  BAG  of  the  Class  of  1946  came  early  in  the 
Spring  term  of  youngster  year.  After  a  torrid  two  week's 
political  campaign,  Don  Iselin  as  Editor-in-Chief  and 
Ansel  Braseth  as  Business  Manager  were  elected  by  class 
vote  to  organize  and  head  the  production  of  our  BAG. 
Our  aim  was  threefold— to  present  to  all  friends  of  the 
Navy  an  intimate  picture  of  life  at  the  Academy;  to  give 
our  class  an  accurate  record  of  three  years  together  in 
and  out  of  Bancroft;  and  to  preserve  for  the  Regiment 
the  memories  of  another  year. 

First  item  on  the  long  lists  of  urgent  work  was  the 
scheduling  of  first  class  photographs.  Dan  Walker,  as 
Biography  Editor,  swung  into  immediate  action,  haunt- 
ing the  halls  of  Bancroft  with  his  nightly  excursions  in 
quest  of  subjects,  willing  and  unwilling,  for  the  peering 
lenses  of  Josef  Schiff's  camera. 

But  the  wheels  of  progress  were  also  turning  in  other 
directions.  Stan  Zipser  returned  from  a  Cook's  tour  of 
the  grey  matter  and  emerged  with  the  theme  of  the  1946 
LUCKY  BAG,  the  "Laws  of  the  Navy".  It  wasn't  long 
before  the  Editorial  triumvirate  of  Beach,  Collins,  and 
Zipser  turned  up  with  a  working  outline  for  the  story  of 
'46,  complete  from  polkadot  ties  to  Ensign's  shoulder 
boards.  By  the  end  of  May  the  infamous  informal  pho- 
tographers were  plaguing  our  classmates.  The  pace  was 
set,  and  the  staff  never  slackened  until  the  "okay— D.G.I." 
was  stamped  on  the  final  proof.

The  leaves  had  turned  from  green  to  brown  and  red, 
and  were  falling  to  the  earth— Tecumseh  blossomed  with 
full  war  paint  only  to  return  to  copper  hue— and  one  clear 
morning  we  knew  it  was  winter.  But,  come  ice  or  snow, 
the  ancient  art  of  dragging  remained  a  pleasant  pastime. 
Nature  lovers  that  heretofore  had  gone  for  cross-country 
hikes  now  submitted  their  drags  to  the  wintry  pleasure  of 
ice-skating.  The  Masquerader  performances,  hops,  and 
concerts  were  the  highlights  of  our  winter  social  season. 
Each  weekend  was  over  all  too  soon,  but  happily  the 
frigid  days  of  winter  also  rolled  by  rapidly,  making  way 
for  the  coming  spring.

The  leaves  showed  their  brightest  green,  the  sky  its 
deepest  blue.  Spring  rushed  upon  us  and  showered  the 
landscape  with  a  verdant  energy.  Our  spirits  soared  as 
Nature  flowered,  for  we  knew  that  spring  would  also 
bring  us  second  class  rates.  The  privilege  of  dragging  in 
the  knockabouts  and  half-raters  was  granted,  and  our 
liberty  was  increased  to  include  Wednesday  afternoons 
and  Saturday  evenings.  Second  class  doorways  and  lad- 
ders also  became  an  added  convenience.  Most  important 
to  us  was  the  long-awaited  opportunity  of  possessing 
radios.  We  exercised  our  new  rates  contentedly  and  en- 
joyed spring's  warm  days  and  cool  evenings  knowing  that 
we  were  in  the  home  stretch— first  class  year  was  not  far 
ahead.

\  i  ormeb  Comm  ^nder-in-Chdef  ot  the  Fleet  once  said, 
"Speaking  from  fort)  years  ol  active  service  in  the  Navy, 
I  can  sa)  without  hesitation  that  the  one  course  at  the 
\  ..'  Academy  which  is  most  important  of  all,  and 
which  you  will  find  you  must  use  continually  from  your 
first  da\  as  Ensign  to  your  last  day  on  retirement,  is 
English." 

\\  c  spent  plebe  year  writing  themes,  reading  Shake- 
speare, and  following  the  romantic  movement  in  English 
literature.  W  e  struggled  main  a  study  period  to  express 
ourselves  "clearly  and  forcibly"  in  compositions  on  fa- 
miliar subjects,  such  as  "A  Plebe  in  the  Mess  Hall,"  or  the 
controversial  topic.  "Why  English  Is  Important  to  Me  as 
.i  Vi\  al  ( )fficer."  A  naval  officer  should  be  able  to  express 
his  ideas  clearly  and  easily  in  oral  English,  we  were  told, 


\/< .  Pu\  'l .  <IkI  the  honoi  s 


so  we  spent  the  major  part  of  the  Winter  term  delivering 
speeches  to  our  mildly  interested  classmates.  Anecdotes 
from  old  Readers'  Digests  were  used  freely.  Not  a  few  of 
the  jokes  we  told  were  greeted  with  blank  expressions. 
Most  of  us  lost  our  nervousness  and  gained  valuable  self- 
confidence  as  we  gave  speech  after  speech,  simulating 
after-dinner  talks  and  occasional  speeches. 

In  the  Spring  our  fancy  was  turned  to  thoughts  of 
Shakespeare  and  the  romantic  period  of  English  litera- 
ture. Some  of  us  could  not  understand  why  the  poets  did 
not  express  themselves  more  clearly  with  the  pen,  as  we 
were  being  taught  to  do.  Nevertheless  we  added  to  our 
cultural  background.  During  the  summer  of  youngster 
year  we  were  given  the  opportunity  to  show  what  we  had 
learned  in  a  year's  time— themes,  themes,  themes.  For 
nearly  every  recitation  we  had  to  write  a  theme  on  a 
selected  topic.  More  ink  and  paper  were  used  in  the 
Hall  then  than  at  any  other  time.  By  the  end  of  the  term 
our  ideas  were  flowing  from  brain  to  pen  without  appar- 
ent effort. 

The  Fall  term  of  youngster  year  brought  us  to  a  semi- 
professional  course  in  Naval  History.  The  study  of  sea 
power's  influence  on  the  history  of  nations,  the  progress 
of  ships,  weapons,  and  naval  tactics,  and  the  study  of  the 
qualities  of  naval  leadership  all  form  a  very  important 
basis  for  later  professional  application.  In  the  classroom 
we  studied  naval  campaigns,  complete  with  diagrams, 
and  Saturday  morning  we  supplemented  it  with  lectures. 
At  the  end  of  the  term  we  turned  in  a  paper  re-fighting 
the  Battle  of  Jutland  in  modern  times.  Many  indeed  were 
the  classroom  admirals.

Social  and  political  philosophies  became  the  themes  of 
our  Bull  classes  as  we  embarked  on  the  Winter  term 
course  in  modern  European  history.  The  purposes  of  the 
course  were  to  show  how  the  Europe  of  1815  has  become 
the  Europe  of  today  and  to  present  a  critical  analysis  of 
the  various  political  and  social  ideologies  of  the  period. 
The  remainder  of  the  courses  in  Bull  were  devoted  to  the 
United  States.  In  the  Spring  term  we  studied  the  history 
of  American  foreign  policy  and  the  close  connection  be- 
tween diplomacy  and  our  country's  actions,  including 
involvement  in  war.  We  perceived  that  a  Naval  officer 
must  also  be  a  diplomat.  During  the  summer  of  first  class 
year  we  finished  our  formal  studies  in  Bull  with  an  inten- 
sive study  of  the  development  of  American  government 
and  the  theory  of  its  operation,  based  on  constitutional 
law.

0*tce  a^Ut  JUNE  WEEK 

For  one  long  year  we  existed  as  youngsters— "plebes 
carrying  on,"  according  to  the  old  saying.  But  the  end 
was  in  sight  as  we  swung  into  our  second  June  Week.  The 
athletes  surged  ahead  of  the  crowds  Friday  evening,  when 
Hubbard  Hall  was  again  the  scene  of  the  exclusive  "N" 
Dance.  Here  the  wearers  of  the  blue  and  gold  on  the 
field  of  sports  danced  the  evening  away  under  a  brilliant 
June  Week  moon. 

As  the  weekend  came  to  a  close,  we  began  to  worry 
about  those  tiring  functions  on  Worden  Field— the 
P-rades.  But  somehow,  as  we  marched  onto  the  field, 
which  was  jammed  with  parents,  drags,  and  cameramen, 
we  were  pretty  proud  to  be  a  part  of  the  show.  Admiral 
Beardall  presented  awards  to  the  more  distinguished 
members  of  the  Regiment,  while  the  rest  of  us  stood  mo- 
tionless beneath  a  blazing  sun.  Tuesday  afternoon  the 
sun  was  still  hot  enough  for  a  parade,  so  again  we  pro- 
ceeded in  unusually  military  manner  to  Worden  Field. 
While  cameras  ground  away,  the  color  girl,  escorted  by 
the  Admiral,  went  through  the  time-honored  ceremony 
of  presenting  the  colors.  Then,  another  trek  past  the  re- 
viewing stand  made  our  youngster  parades  nothing  but 
a  memory.  That  night,  Dahlgren  Hall  was  host  to  the 
largest  Farewell  Ball  the  Academy  has  ever  seen.  A  sea 
of  brilliant  colors  swayed  to  the  barely  audible  strains  of 
Lt.  Sima's  music-makers.  June  Week  was  all  over  but  the 
cheering,  and  there  was  a  crescendo  of  that  the  next  day, 
as  1945  received  commissions,  1947  became  upperclass, 
and  1946  took  over  the  reins  of  the  Regiment.

That  gilded  emblem  of  our  class,  the  most  expensive 
blackjack  we  ever  bought,  our  ring,  has  a  story  behind  it, 
the  story  of  '46s  ring  committee.  Plebe  year  scuttlebutt 
had  it  that  rings  were  out  for  the  duration,  but  no  sooner 
had  we  cast  off  the  shackles  of  plebedom  than  we  were 
given  delusions  of  grandeur  by  electing  a  ring  commit- 
tee! The  first  move  of  the  able  octet  we  selected  was  the 
drawing  up  of  some  general  ideas  for  an  Academy  crest, 
making  rough  sketches  and   sending   them   to   Bailey, 


The  Ring  of  Rings 


Banks,  and  Biddle,  the  manufacturers.  The  committee 
then  selected  from  the  company's  designs  the  three  best 
crests,  and  from  these  we  chose  our  favorite,  and  produc- 
tion began.  Forty-six's  rings  were  on  the  way!  The  com- 
mittee also  distributed  the  rings  in  June,  gave  priorities 
on  the  few  miniatures  available,  and,  regretfully,  col- 
lected the  class  emblems  of  those  who  were  with  us  in 
June  of  '44  but,  in  June  of  '45,  were  far  away.

To  the  youngsters,  June  Week  means  but  one  thing— 
the  Ring  Dance.  That  short  ceremony  under  the  huge 
replica  of  the  ring  seemed  a  very  important  event  in  our 
Naval  careers.  As  is  customary,  we  had  dinner  in  the 
Mess  Hall.  There  were  orchids  and  earring  miniatures 
of  the  class  crest  for  the  OAO's,  and  the  sight  of  a  thou- 
sand beautiful  women  definitely  added  something  to  the 
usually  commonplace  surroundings.  After  dinner  we 
strolled  over  to  MacDonough  Hall,  where  the  gym  was 
transformed  by  its  marine  style  decorations,  and  the  or- 
chestra played  from  the  deck  of  a  beached  sailing  ship 
of  old.  At  the  opposite  end  of  the  room  was  the  ring, 
brilliant  in  the  dimly  lit  atmosphere.  Here  shadowy 
couples  paused  and  blended  into  one,  as  the  class  of 
1946  became  wed  to  the  sea.

Kings  for  a  year!  We  emerged  from  the  serfdom  of 
plebe  year  and  the  yearnings  of  youngsters  to  the  exalted 
position  of  a  Bancroft  plutocrat.  Didn't  the  first  class 
run  the  Regiment;  wasn't  our  final  year  sheer  "fruit"; 
with  just  enough  academic  taxation  to  prevent  letter- 
writer's  cramp,  but  not  enough  to  preclude  afternoon 
excursions  to  fair  Annapolis? 

To  these  questions,  and  many  more,  we  found  the 
answer  in  June  of  1944.  We  soon  discovered  that  our 
responsibilities  were  great,  for  not  only  were  we  called 
upon  to  instill  discipline  in  the  two  thousand  men  under 
us,  but  also  ours  was  the  task  of  estimating  another's 
qualifications  as  officer  material  for  future  Regiments. 

And  academics!  The  Ordnance  trees  grew  into 
tangled  jungles  and  the  sun  was  never  in  the  right  place 
while  we  were  grinding  out  the  weekly  Nav  P-works. 

Our  new  rates  didn't  quite  encompass  the  Four  Free- 
doms, but  they  were  a  long  step  from  the  memories  of 
plebe  year,  and  we  accepted  them  with  gracious  ap- 
proval.

TAKE  CHARGE! 


Follow  insti  in  tions,  Mate 


A  man  of  action,  a  leader  who  called  not  for  followers, 
but  found  them  abundantly.  That  was  our  Captain 
Goodwin.  He  believed  firmly  in  the  privileges  of  rank, 
and  strived  unceasingly  to  improve  the  lot  of  the  first 
class.  In  his  capacity  as  Executive  Officer  he  dispensed 
with  red  tape,  inaugurated  the  publication  of  Regimental 
bulletins,  opened  the  gates  for  the  repeal  of  "110-40," 
and  reduced  our  service  charges.  Often,  so  often,  did  he 
impress  upon  us  the  fact  that  we  must  "Take  Charge." 

And  we  did!  Our  initial  task  came  with  first  class 
cruise.  '46  manifested  its  authority  on  all  stations,  from 
topside  cleaning  to  number  three  main  battery  turret. 
On  the  blue  waters  of  the  Atlantic  we  carried  into  action 
the  words  of  Captain  Goodwin.

Off  came  the  diagonal-striped  shoulder  boards.  Out 
came  the  tropical  greys,  from  beneath  rain  capes,  from 
behind  top-shelf  laundry,  and  from  between  the  folds 
of  blankets.  Gold  chin  straps  a-glistening,  we  passed 
grinning  jimmy  legs.  As  fast  as  bulging  suitcases  would 
permit,  we  left  the  green  gates  behind.  Out,  out  we 
radiated;  past  the  limits  of  the  Queen  Anne  metropolis 
and  past  the  last  outposts  of  the  Calvert  domain. 

The  all-fish  menu  of  the  dining  cars  was  a  disappoint- 
ment, but  rapidly  we  adjusted  ourselves  to  the  crescendo 
of  inconveniences  of  the  Home  Front  at  War.  Ration 
Boards,  abbreviated  bills-of-fare,  and  alcohol  curfews 
had  been  ameliorated  by  adjustments  during  the  previ- 
ous leaves.  But  this  was  to  be  the  leave  supreme.  Some 
of  us  gave  exclusive  attention  to  the  girls  who  walked 
through  the  Ring  with  us.  Others  dedicated  themselves 
to  entertaining  America's  manless  femininity.  But  all  of 
us  were  steeped  in  the  best  of  Khayyam  and  Epicurus. 
As  the  sands  of  28  days  seemed  to  hurtle  faster  and  faster 
through  the  neck  of  the  glass,  our  sense  of  freedom  be- 
came less  and  less  intense.  Then  one  pleasant  summer 
morning  we  awoke  to  the  realization  that  we  must  return 
to  the  retreat  in  the  Orient,  there  to  assume  new  roles 
as  leaders  of  the  Regiment.

First  class  summer  found  us  trying  on  our  new 
rings,  reveling  in  our  new  rates,  and  attempting 
to  relax.  But  there  was,  in  addition  to  the  other 
new  and  interesting  subjects,  a  final  effort  on 
the  part  of  the  Bull  Department,  in  the  form  of 
a  course  in  American  Government;  the  5"-38 
kept  us  off  the  horizontal  the  rest  of  the  time. 
Still,  the  summer  sun  had  its  attraction  for  all 
hands.  We  spent  many  hours  stretched  out  on 
Farragut  Field  or  the  seawall,  browning  up  for 
leave,  keeping  that  Trinidad  tan,  or  just  lazing 
in  the  heat.  Summer  hops,  weekend  sailing 
trips  with  the  girls  or  on  races,  and  thoughts  of 
leave  combined  to  fill  all  spare  time  during  the 
summer.  Academics  kept  us  busy  but  still  left 
plenty  of  spare  hours  to  enjoy  the  freedom  and 
privilege  of  the  summer  term.

The  lure  of  the  chase  still  pervaded  Bancroft.  Our 
hunters  substituted  swords  and  messengers  for  red  coats 
and  hounds,  but  for  us  and  the  foxes,  the  results  were 
just  the  same!  No  matter  how  elaborate  the  warning  net, 
the  D.O.'s  crashed  through,  despite  whispers  of  "sail-  ho," 
and  snapping  fingers.  There  were  those  among  us  who 
boasted,  but  there  were  also  those  who  could  navigate 
the  walk-run  course,  blindfolded.

The  one  great  purpose  for  which  the  Navy  works  and 
trains  is  success  in  battle.  Toward  that  end  are  directed 
all  the  countless  hours  of  training  men,  and  the  construc- 
tion of  all  modern  complex  instruments  of  war.  And 
when  the  crucial  hour  of  battle  comes,  the  success  we 
work  for  depends  largely  upon  the  power  and  efficiency 
of  our  gunnery,  and  its  ability  to  destroy  the  enemy.  With 
this  in  mind,  it  was  easy  to  understand  the  need  for  the 
many  hours  we  spent  with  the  Ordnance  Department. 

The  first  summer  we  learned  to  use  small  arms,  and 
spent  a  great  deal  of  time  on  the  rifle  range  and  in  the 
pistol  gallery.  Experience  with  larger  guns  came  on 
cruise,  when  we  practiced  anti-aircraft  firing  and  night 
bombardment.  The  use  of  these  guns  and  the  many  in- 
struments connected  with  them  served  to  materialize 
the  hours  spent  in  the  lecture  and  model  rooms.  The

emerged  the  answers  to  the  complex  gunnery  problems 
of  modern  warfare.  Equipped  with  a  working  knowledge 
of  ordnance  material  we  join  the  fleet,  confident  of  our 
ability  to  keep  pace  with  the  valiant  deeds  of  our  con- 
temporaries.

It  was  long  before  '46  came  face  to  face  with  that  first 
mimeographed  question  slip  1-NT-l-A  that  we  became 
acquainted  with  the  Seamanship  Department.  No  sooner 
had  our  stencil  ink  dried  than  we  found  ourselves  catch- 
ing a  crab  or  two  in  the  Severn  in  an  attempt  to  master 
the  strenuous  art  of  pulling  a  cutter.  Then,  with  the 
blisters  on  our  hands  still  burning,  the  Department  lined 
us  up  on  the  seawall,  assigned  us  boats  and  instructors 
and  sent  us  to  sea  for  the  first  time— in  a  frail  little  sail- 
boat! Luce  Hall  jackstay  drills  completed  the  plebe  sum- 
mer Seamo  course. 

Yes,  we  had  met  the  Seamo  Department— and  we 
were  theirs.  For  the  first  two  years,  weekly  drill  periods 
found  us  alternating  flag  hoists  and  blinker  in  Room  N 
with  wig-wag  and  semaphore  on  Farragut  Field.    Two

Saturday  mornings  a  term  we  offered  our  services  to  the 
1/c  skippers,  OOD's,  and  signal  officers  in  order  to  learn 
the  various  duties  of  watch  standers  aboard  ships  at  sea. 

Thus  in  September,  1944,  we  marched  to  our  first 
recitation,  assured  that  with  two  years  of  experience  we 
were  well  fortified  to  cope  with  the  mere  theory  of  sea- 
manship. We  were  wrong.  There  was  little  that  seemed 
familiar  to  us  in  Naval  Tactics,  less  in  Communications, 
and  by  the  time  we  completed  Naval  Courts  and  Boards, 
we  were  certain  that  the  course  had  been  changed  into 
a  foreign  language  study. 

The  number  of  subjects  we  studied  during  the  nine 


month  period  was  amazing,  but  even  more  astounding  to 
us  was  our  feeling,  at  the  close  of  the  year,  that  we  had 
learned  almost  as  much  as  we  had  studied;  we  were  quali- 
fied to  serve  as  officers  in  the  world's  greatest  fleet.

NAVIGATION 

"Time  is  everything;  five  minutes  may  mean  the  differ- 
ence between  victory  and  defeat."  So  saying,  Lord  Nel- 
son unknowingly  equipped  our  Navigation  Department 
with  a  slogan  which  it  has  passed  on  to  each  successive 
first  class  every  Saturday  morning  of  the  academic  year. 
It  was  fascinating  to  learn  that  the  stars  and  moon  were 
more  useful  than  they  appeared  on  a  night  of  summer 
leave— they  were  actually  a  means  of  orienting  ourselves 


with  the  toind  aft

on  the  earth's  surface;  and  that  a  wrist  watch  was  not  the 
only  means  of  determining  the  time  of  day,  for  the  sun 
and  vernal  equinox  told  a  far  more  accurate  story— after 
we  finally  learned  to  punch  the  correct  tabulated  columns 
in  the  Nautical  Almanac  and  the  H.O.  volumes.

The  old  slogan  about  rank  having  its  privilege  became 
something  more  than  a  group  of  words  during  our  last 
year,  especially  when  we  dragged.  We  leisurely  dined 
on  Saturday  nights  as  we  watched  worried  youngsters 
and  their  drags  dash  off  from  untouched  desserts  to  make 
the  nine-thirty  deadline  at  the  hop.  Then  as  the  evening 
wore  on,  if  the  young  lady  seemed  interested,  or  if  a 
long  walk  was  ahead,  at  eleven  fifteen  we  would  stroll 
out  of  Dahlgren  with  plenty  of  time  to  go,  pausing  only 
long  enough  on  the  steps  above  the  dance  floor  to  say 
"Them?  Oh,  they  have  to  stay  till  it's  over."  Still  later, 
when  she  asked  what  the  clatter  on  the  pavement  outside 
was,  we'd  murmur,  "Just  youngsters;  they're  probably 
late  now,"  and  then  change  the  subject. 

There  were  many  little  conveniences  too,  that  dulled 
the  sharp  edge  of  Academy  life,  things  such  as  having  the 
first  five  rows  of  seats  at  entertainments,  afternoon  liberty 
to  do  those  small  errands  in  town,  corridor  boys— if  you 
paid  them— to  clean  the  room,  and  the  undeniable  fact 
that  the  few  officers  of  the  Executive  Department  were 
easier  to  dodge  than  an  entire  senior  class.

Among  the  fond  memories  of  first  class  year,  our  pre- 
cious weekends  rank  high.  The  once-a-term  Saturday 
night  spent  by  some  in  the  livelier  districts  of  Washing- 
ton, Baltimore,  or  New  York  was  a  long-anticipated 
privilege.  An  extra  weekend— for  some  the  only— was  pro- 
vided by  the  trip  to  Philly  for  the  Penn  game.  Football, 
several  hours  of  liberty,  and  the  night  clubs  of  Phila- 
delphia combined  to  make  this  a  gala  occasion,  despite 
the  rigors  of  the  overnight  boat  ride.

GUIDANCE 

Purpose:  To  aid  Catholic 
young  men  in  the  everyday 
execution  of  their  religious 
philosophy.  A  tribute  to  that 
great  scholar,  Cardinal  New- 
man, the  club  presented  bi- 
weekly lectures  on  topics 
ranging  from  world  politics 
to  successful  marriage.  As- 
sisted by  their  chaplain, 
Father  Murphy,  the  New- 
man club  obtained  many  dis- 
tinguished clergy  and  lay- 
men to  interest  its  more  than 
six  hundred  members. 


CULTURE 

Baltimore's  perennial 
Mayor  McKelton,  Physical 
Training's  hypnotic  Sazama, 
and  the  University  of  Mary- 
land's enticing  female  chorus 
—only  a  few  of  the  stars  in  a 
galaxy  of  entertainment  that 
packed  Smoke  Hall  for  each 
bi-weekly  NACA  night. 
These  programs  were  always 
all-hands  evolutions,  and 
provided  much  pleasure  for 
everyone. 


THE  SEA 

Not  until  we  had  experi- 
enced the  thrill  of  holding  a 
tiller,  of  trimming  a  sheet,  or 
of  crossing  a  finish  line  in 
front  did  we  realize  the  ex- 
citement awaiting  us  in  the 
Academy's  "fleet"  of  yachts 
and  yawls.  Many  of  us  quali- 
fied as  handlers  and  com- 
manders, becoming  at  the 
same  time  members  of  the 
Boat  (mib,  an  organization 
whose  pleasure  was  sailing.

Everyone  likes  to  voice  his  opinion  and  the  Quarter- 
deck Society  was  an  organization  dedicated  just  to  that 
purpose.  Its  weekly  informal  discussions  touched  on 
topics  ranging  from  Academy  "gripes"  to  international 

Knights,  bishops,  and  Midshipmen 


THE    HOBBYISTS 

For  most  of  us,  stamps  went  out  with  the 
franking  privilege.  A  few,  however,  found 
the  philatelic  hobby  quite  fascinating.  The 
Stamp  club,  a  newcomer  to  the  Society 
of  Philatelic  Americans,  enables  Midship- 
men to  carry  on  their  personal  collections. 


politics.  In  more  formal  expression,  the  club  participated 
in  Intercollegiate  debates,  with  Memorial  Hall  serving 
as  the  forum  for  the  battle  of  "constructions  and  rebut- 
tals." Within  the  Regiment,  the  Society  sponsored  its 
annual  oratory  competition,  awarding  prizes  to  those 
who  displayed  outstanding  ability  in  thought  content 
and  persuasive  delivery. 


THE   STRATEGISTS 

Chess,  the  hobby  of  kings,  the  brain-teasing  sport  of  the 
mentally  adept  has  more  than  its  share  of  Academy  en- 
thusiasts. We  tried  our  hand  at  the  Sicilian  defense  and 
the  Queen's  gambit  by  competing  with  club  members 
and  displaying  our  talents  at  rapid  transit  games  in  the 
steerage.  Highlight  of  the  chess  season  was  the  annual 
Army  match,  conducted  by  mail.  We're  still  trying  to 
find  out  who  won!

"No  darling,  that's  xot  his  belt  hanging  out!"  Another 
midshipman's  drag  is  enlightened.  Not  really  the  addi- 
tional bit  of  sartorial  negligence  that  it  appears  to  be, 
the  sword  belt  is  the  badge  of  authority  used  at  the  Naval 
Academy  hops  to  replace  the  rosette,  badge,  or  colors 
worn  at  college  dances.  According  to  U.S.N.A.  Regula- 
tion 3062.  regimental  and  class  hops  are  given  by  and 
for  midshipmen.  The  "by"  can  be  accredited  to  the  nine 
first  classmen  and  two  youngsters  who  carried  on  the 
social  battle  with  the  executive  department  and  displayed 
the  wares  of  Lieutenant  Sima's  talented  musicians.  Their 
job  was  to  satisfy  everyone  with  hops  at  the  right  time, 
and  try  to  balance  the  jive  seekers  against  those  who 
wanted  romantic  waltzes. 


With  the  closing  strains  of  "For  those  in  Peril  on  the 
Sea,"  each  Sunday  the  choir  concluded  another  Chapel 
service;  seventy-five  choristers  filed  out  the  back  pas- 
sageway, another  week's  performance  well  done.  The 
entire  service,  procession,  chants,  and  anthem  resulted 
from  one  afternoon's  practice  during  the  week  and  a 
short  rehearsal  Sunday  morning,  under  the  direction  of 
Mr.  Gilley,  the  Chapel  organist.

The  nemesis  of  the  mechanically-minded— meat  of  the 
intellectuals,  Dago  is  basis  for  both  worry  and  hobby  at 
the  Naval  Academy.  To  the  graduate,  knowledge  of  for- 
eign languages  is  a  definite  asset,  readily  apparent  to  the 
Naval  officer  in  a  foreign  port. 

At  regular  intervals,  members  of  the  French,  Portu- 
guese, Spanish,  German,  Russian,  and  Japanese  clubs 
meet,  and,  with  the  help  of  officers  and  instructors  of  the 
Department,  improve  their  linguistic  talents.  The  air  of 
academic  drudgery  is  missing;  for  the  meetings  feature 
original  skits  and  song  fests— in  a  foreign  tongue,  of 
course! 


The  price  of  membership  in  the  Math  club  was  interest. 
We  weren't  all  Einsteins  or  Granvilles,  in  fact  not  a  few 
of  us  had  a  hard  time  turning  out  30's,  but  we  found  real 
fascination  in  the  intricacies  of  pure  mathematics,  in  the 
explanation  of  the  gamma  function,  and  in  the  derivation 
of  Taylor's  series.  Twice  a  month  we  gathered  in  the  gen- 
eral extracurricular  room  for  short  meetings  and  lectures 
by  assorted  math  wizards  and  ordinarv  profs.  The  civil- 
ized treatment  of  a  daily  scourge  was  justification  enough 
for  many  of  us  to  devote  two  evenings  a  month  to  our 
Math  club. 


The  marvels  of  mathematics  were  interesting  to  many

Not  even  the  theater  was  safe  from  the  aspirations  of 
midshipmen.  Each  year  the  Masqueraders,  our  dramatic 
club,  treated  the  Regiment  and  Annapolitans  to  an  almost 
professional  production  of  some  current  play.  Climaxing 
months  of  rehearsal  by  the  cast  and  ceaseless  hours  of 
work  by  the  crews  who  built  the  scenery,  set  the  stage, 
arranged  the  lighting,  and  handled  the  tickets  and  pro- 
grams, came  the  play— a  bright  spot  in  grey  winter 
months. 

Ably  coached  by  Professor  Royal  S.  Pease,  whose 
long  experience  and  deft  direction  could  make  actors 
out  of  wooden  Indians,  the  club  turned  out  a  stellar  pro- 
duction of  Thurber's  The  Male  Animal  this  year.  A 
change  of  pace  from  last  year's  mystery,  this  difficult 
Broadway  comedy  was  a  real  test  of  the  club's  talents.

Three  bells  at  Wednesday  evenings  meals  was  the 
starting  signal  for  the  rush  to  Smoke  Hall's  front  seats. 
The  sessions  of  the  NA-10,  mellow,  tepid,  or  hot,  were 
worth  the  scramble.  And  at  the  week-end  informals  many 
a  drag  reluctantly  watched  the  boys  pack  up  their  instru- 
ments. In  moments  more  sedate  we  listened  to  the  occa- 
sional Mem  Hall  programs  of  the  concert  orchestra.  From 
the  strong-throated  Glee  Club  we  received  memorable 
entertainment  climaxed  by  the  Christmas  Carol  program 
the  evening  before  we  left  for  our  last  leave.  Perhaps  the 
most  genuinely  collegiate  group  was  the  Mandolin  Club. 
Its  evening  sessions  with  heterogeneous  instruments 
brought  forth  a  well-received  performance  in  the  annual 
Combined  Musical  Clubs  show,  "The  Bitter  End,"  co-

As  the  number  of  days  dwindled  into  the  two  digit 
column,  concentration  on  academics  became  impossible, 
whereas  a  month  or  so  before,  it  had  been  only  mildly 
difficult.  There  were  just  too  many  distractions!  Before 
we  had  finished  growling  about  the  "raw  deal"  in  pref- 
erence numbers,  we  were  busy  deciding  our  choice  of 
duty— just  in  case.  And  all  the  while  we  were  finding  it 
only  too  easy  to  spend  our  afternoons  and  modest  sav- 
ings browsing  in  and  out  of  Robber's  Row— buying  a  cap 
and  raincoat  at  one  shop,  sea  boots  and  insignia  at  the 
place  next  door.  Soon,  assignments  were  being  posted, 
our  hopes,  fears,  prayers,  and  anxieties  for  particular 
duty  were  at  an  end.  We  soon  had  our  orders  in  our 
hand  and  were  ready  for  our  new  duty  as  ensigns.

"To  Midshipman  Benjamin  Stillwell  Martin,  for 
serving  as  Regimental  Commander.  ..."  Amid  gasps 
of  delight  and  applause  from  the  spectators,  the  Super- 
intendent presented  the  well-earned  awards  and  prizes 
to  the  outstanding  graduates.  Don  Iselin  won  the  lion's 
share  of  the  honors  by  standing  at  the  head  of  his  class, 
and  taking  first  place  in  Ordnance,  English,  Mathe- 
matics, History,  Navigation,  and  Marine  Engineering. 
Altogether,  he  was  the  recipient  of  nine  prizes.  Five- 
striper  Ben  Martin  scored  heavily  for  his  leadership  and 
athletic  ability ;  Harry  Upthegrove  stood  first  in  Rules 
of  the  Road;  Ed  Sheehy  in  Seamanship,  Jack  Fagan 
in  Electrical  Engineering,  Frank  Johnston  in  Military 
Law,  Al  Jiminez  in  Foreign  Languages,  and  Dick  West 
in  Mechanical  Drawing.  Don  Jameson  placed  first  in 
the  oratorical  contest  and  Fritz  Wiedeman  took  top 
honors  for  his  patriotic  essay.  Dave  Barksdale  received 
the  award  for  promotion  of  athletics.  These  and  many 
others  were  the  men  that  earned  through  hard  work 
and  constant  effort  the  prizes  in  different  fields  of 
endeavor.  Watches,  war  bonds,  binoculars,  cups,  and 
swords  constituted  their  tangible  reward  for  a  job  well 
done.  The  Superintendent  expressed  his  congratulations 
with  a  handshake  to  the  winner  of  each  award;  the 
Regiment  expressed  it  with  a  hearty  three  cheers  for 
the  award  winners.  Then,  as  each  man  took  his  place 
in  his  company  again,  and  the  Regiment  began  to  pass 
in  review,  each  member  of  '46  became  conscious  that 
here  was  the  next  to  last  P-rade  and  it  was  "look  proud, 
boys,  we're  going  home."

PRESIDENT  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES 

It  was  with  a  feeling  of  personal  loss,  a  sense  of  deep 
sorrow  that  we  received  the  news  of  President  Roose- 
velt's death.  The  Navy  had  lost  a  friend,  the  nation 
had  lost  a  president,  and  the  world  had  lost  a  leader. 
We  discovered  that  we  had  a  new  Commander  in  Chief, 
a  man  about  whom  we  knew  little.  President  Harry  S. 
Truman  accepted  his  tremendous  responsibility  with 
a  note  of  humility  and  a  determination  to  lead  the 
nation  firmly  and  wisely.  Within  a  few  days,  he  had 
the  reins  of  government  capably  in  hand,  and  with  little 
fanfare  proceeded  directly  to  the  job  of  winning  the 
war  and  assuring  the  peace.  His  leadership  has  inspired 
confidence  in  the  hearts  and  minds  of  all  Americans. 
We  are  proud  to  have  him  as  our  Commander  in  Chief.

COMMANDANT  OF  MIDSHIPMEN 

Brief  though  our  acquaintance  had  been  with  Cap- 
tain Ingersoll,  we  quickly  recognized  his  desire  for 
efficiency  and  his  ability  to  steer  us  on  the  right  course. 
His  deep  interest  in  us  as  midshipmen  was  surpassed 
only  by  his  constant  and  successful  endeavors  to  better 
prepare  us  for  our  future  days.  To  Captain  Ingersoll 
the  Class  of  194b  gives  its  sincerest  thanks.

P*udle  a^  the 


)arade  of  June  Week,  the  climax  of 
rs  colorful  pageant  preceding  graduation, 
cameramen  steadied  their  cameras  in  their 
tre&itap  vantage  points,  waiting  to  grind  away  as  the 
scensVinfolded  below  them;  proud  parents  and  sweet- 
hearts^pverflowed  the  stands  and  filled  the  "standing 
room  only"  space;  the  Regiment  marched  smartly  up 
to  its  position  on  the  parade  grounds.  Throughout  the 
ranks  ran  the  whisper:  "Will  the  Admiral  let  him  kiss 
her  this  year?" 

Finally  the  color  company  marched  forward  and 
halted  in  front  of  the  reviewing  stand.  The  yellow 
guidon  of  the  Eighteenth  Company  waved  in  the  breeze 
as  the  company  commander,  E.  H.  Knape,  snappily 
saluted  Admiral  Beardall  and  the  color  girl,  Miss 
Lillian  Cordes.  After  she  transferred  the  colors  to  their 
new  bearers,  the  new  blue  guidon  signifying  "champs" 
replaced  the  yellow;  the  company  responded  with  three 
hearty  cheers  for  the  color  girl.  The  Regiment  then 
saluted  with  three  cheers  for  the  color  company  and 
passed  in  review  before  the  newly-crowned  winners- 
it  was  all  over  but  the  congratulations. 

To  the  victor — and  his  O.A.O. — went  the  spoils. 
To  the  Eighteenth  Company  went  the  well-deserved 
title  of  Pride  of  the  Regiment,  and  the  well-earned  satis- 
faction of  a  good  job  well  done.  The  honor  of  being 
color  company  was  the  result  of  outstanding  achieve- 
ment  in   many   fields   of  competition,    of  continuous 


22 


(lexflment 


ion — in

fall  term 


effort  throughout  the  year.    The  "E' 
each  man  of  the  Eighteenth  is  the  symbo 
through  effort  in  every  Regimental   co 
smartness,  professional  competition,  and 

The  color  winners  climbed  to  the  top  in 
under  "El"  Knape,  added  to  their  lead  dicing  Joe 
Stoutenburgh's  winter  term  leadership,  and  finished 
strong  when  Knape  resumed  command  in  the  spring. 
Those  two  stripers  used  their  authority  to  form  a 
smoothly  functioning  unit.  Harmony  was  their  key- 
note. First  classmen  led  the  way  by  cooperating  fully 
with  each  other  and  with  their  juniors;  the  under- 
classes responded  by  working  enthusiastically  toward 
the  ambitious  goal  set  by  their  leaders.  The  company 
harmony  was  especially  noticeable  in  the  sports  com- 
petition, where  class  rates  dissolved  so  that  teamwork 
could  excel.  The  points  garnered  in  company  smart- 
ness, parade  excellence,  communications,  YP  handling, 
and  other  all-company  contests  furnish  further  proof 
of  the  effectiveness  of  the  policy  of  united  effort.  In 
events  in  which  only  one  class  participated,  the  Eigh- 
teenth again  had  an  outstanding  record,  as  each  man 
of  each  class  pulled  his  own  weight.  Some  competitions 
lasted  all  year,  others  took  only  two  hours — the  Eigh- 
teenth's record  in  each  was  the  best  in  the  Regiment. 
The  Eighteenth  Company,  a  fighting  team,  deserves 
the  honor  it  won  by  active  interest,  thorough  prepara- 
tion, and  cooperative  effort  from  September  until  June.

Adnu/icUk  Qasu&esi  Pa/Uif,  and  tf-G/i&weU  Ball 


A  lawn  party  setting,  complete  with  refreshments, 
dancing,  and  cool  summer  air,  provided  the  scene  for 
the  Admiral's  Garden  Reception  of  the  proud  parents, 
beautiful  drags,  and  happy  graduates.  The  hospitality 
and  friendliness  of  Admiral  and  Mrs.  Beardall  made 
everyone  feel  at  home,  adding  to  the  party  that  valuable 
personal  touch.  It  was  a  gracious  social  affair  that  gave 
us  all  a  chance  to  meet  each  others'  parents  and  still 
have  the  opportunity  for  the  usual  party  activities. 

The  next  night  Dahlgren  Hall,  replete  with  decora- 
tions, served  the  entire  Regiment  at  the  Farewell  Ball. 
For  '46  it  was  a  time  of  memories.  The  hours  spent  in 
the  toils  of  ordnance  drills  faded  into  a  vision  of  the 
many  hops  that  we  had  enjoyed  in  these  spacious  halls. 
For  three  years  this  had  been  the  scene  of  our  most 
pleasurable  moments  with  drags  and  O.A.O.'s,  and  now 
Dahlgren  was  saying  Farewell  to  us.  Our  last  hop,  and 
the  overcrowded  dance  floor  could  not  lessen  the  senti- 
ment of  the  occasion.  For  '48  it  was  the  beginning  of 
their  Academy  social  life,  and  for  the  first  time  they 
tasted  the  pleasures  of  participating  rather  than  looking 
on  from  the  gallery.  For  all  alike  it  was  a  beautiful 
dance.  The  music,  the  cooling  walks  into  Thompson 
Stadium,  the  vari-colored  array  of  dresses,  the  parents 
looking  on  from  the  balcony,  a  crowded  floor — this  was 
our  Farewell  Ball,  a  night  of  sentiment,  a  night  of  mem- 
ories, the  eve  of  our  entry  into  the  ranks  of  our  brother 
officers.

June  6th — that  toward  which  we  had  been  counting 
since  G  minus  1086,  the  day  that  we  entered  Dahlgren 
Hall  as  midshipmen  for  the  last  time.  It  was  a  new  kind 
of  feeling  that  we  experienced  upon  graduation.  One  of 
mixed  emotions — happy  with  the  thought  of  our  broad 
gold  stripe,  proud  of  our  hard-earned  achievements, 
anxious  to  venture  forth  upon  the  beckoning  seas;  yet 
secretly  each  and  every  one  of  us  felt  that  little  tinge  of 
emptiness  as  we  left  our  three-year  home.  It  was  the 
sort  of  a  feeling  that  brings  a  lump  into  your  throat,  but 
this  lump  was  welcome,  so  very  welcome — "G"  Day 
had  come  at  last.

Memorial  Hall,  the  scene  of  our  introduction  three 
years  ago  to  the  Laws  of  the  Navy.  Here  we  had  stood, 
surrounded  by  reminders  of  the  deeds  of  others  who  had 
followed  the  Code  of  the  Sea.  Here  we  took  the  oath 
to  follow  that  code  ourselves.  And  now  today  we  take 
one  last  look  at  the  Bay  and  the  misty  shore  beyond 
before  we  leave  that  hall,  determined  to  put  into  prac-

Philadelphia  to  our  football  games,  and  watched  them 
present  the  Regiment  at  our  weekly  parades.  To  the 
public,  they  were  figureheads,  but  to  us  of  the  first 
class  they  were  the  liaison  men  between  us  and  the 
Executive  Department.  It  was  they  who  held  the

There  were  very  few  parades  here  at  the  Aefeemy,  none 
of  the  glory  of  leading  the  midshipmen  ^^^^ay  foot- 
ball game,  and  seldom  did  these  men  g©t!||Senance  to 
command  the  Regiment  assembled  as  a  unit.  Never- 
theless, the  usual  hard  work  was  there,  and  they  did 
a  fine  job  of  correlating  our  thoughts  and  ideas  for  the 
Executive  Department,  as  well  as  seeing  that  -the^lans 
drawn  up  by  the  officers  were  carried  out  to  0&d^d- 
vantage  by  the  midshipmen.  We  place  these  menfnere, 
at  the  beginning  of  the  Biography  Section,  because  they 
symbolize  so  well  the  material  organization  and  spirit 
that  combines  all  four  battalions  of  midshipmen  of  all 
classes  into  the  Regiment.  All  of  these  men  kept  busy 
at  their  jobs — Don  Iselin  worked  hard  at  the  top  post 
while  striving  at  the  same  time  to  keep  our  Lucky  Bag 
going  at  high  speed.  In  addition  to  this  he  still  found 
time  to  work  hard  for  top  honors  in  the  academic  field. 
To  all  of  them  goes  praise  for  the  jobs  they  have  done 
well  in  the  little  spare  time  available — let  us  hope  that 
their  rewards  have  been  commensurate  with  their 
services.

Alamogordo,  New  Mexico 

A  chunk  of  the  Old  West  followed  "Pixie"  to 
Annapolis,  for  with  him  he  brought  a  reputation 
as  a  sheep  herder  de  luxe,  and  his  rendition  of  an 
Indian  Rain  Dance  was  something  to  behold  in 
awe.  There  were  new  opportunities  here,  however, 
and  he  made  good  use  of  his  "big  broad  shoulders" 
in  three  years  of  football.  Those  devilishly  pointed 
eyebrows  not  only  earned  him  his  nickname,  but 
enabled  him  to  slay  the  Eastern  girls  as  easily  as 
he  had  the  squaws  back  home.  May  Tecumseh 
and  Agnew  battle  for  supremacy  for  many  long

Ada,  Ohio 

Ken's  ambition  was  to  make  an  example  of  him- 
self for  his  juniors  while  at  the  Academy.  In  bear- 
ing, industry,  and  personality,  few  compared  with 
him,  and  he  managed  to  make  a  happy  combina- 
tion of  these  qualities.  Few  of  us  could  fail  to  feel 
the  challenge  and  enlightenment  his  keen  mind 
gave  to  our  friendly  chats.  After  managing  the 
gym  team  plebe  year,  he  turned  out  to  be  one  of 
our  ablest  youngster  gymnasts,  and  went  on  to 
new  heights  during  first  class  year.  Ken  will  be 
remembered  for  his  cheerful  willingness  to  be  of 
help  to  his  classmates. 


Red  Bay,  Alabama 

"J.  T."  earned  the  nickname  "Bird"  by  his 
apparent  love  of  flying  and  his  habit  of  flitting 
from  limb  to  limb  of  the  plebe  Bull  tree.  Entering 
the  Academy  from  Marion  Institute  gave  him  a 
military  and  academic  background  that  made  his 
three  years  on  the  Severn  comparatively  easy.  A 
true  Red  Mike,  Dan  holds  the  record  of  three 
years  without  dragging.  His  plentiful  spare  time 
was  spent  mostly  in  sleeping,  but  he  managed  to 
earn  many  points  for  his  company  in  the  regi- 
mental sports  contests.

' '  I  got  spurs  that  j  ingle — . ' '  That's  what  you  might  hear  as  Bonny  strolled  through  the

had  to  leave  them  back  in  Texas.  But  the  regs  didn't  stop  his  mournful  cowboy  bal- 
lads from  ringing  through  the  Hall.  "Geronimo"  always  boasted  about  his  Texas 
squaws,  but  his  luck  didn't  hold  out  here,  as  he  was  often  the  honored  guest  at  a  brick- 
ing party.  A  true  Army  brat,.  Jack  meant  to  catch  the  train  out  of  El  Paso  for  West

to  Anchors  Aweigh.

Sheriff 


Belgrade,  Minnesota 

The  "Sheriff"  hails  from  the  cold  climes  of  northern  Minnesota.  Three  years  of  uni- 
versity have  made  most  of  his  subjects  sheer  fruit,  except  Bull  and  Dago.  He  is  some- 
times referred  to  as  "spot  one"  because  of  his  height,  but  that  is  only  one  of  the  rea- 
sons so  many  of  us  look  up  to  him.  "Wine,  women,  and  song"  has  long  been  his  motto, 
and  from  all  indications  he  does  pretty  well  by  it.  We  are  all  glad  to  claim  him  as  a 
classmate,  and  are  sure  that  all  hands  will  like  him  equally  as  well  when  he  joins  the 
Fleet.

eMo-w-and  flo4&pdt  Bn&uut 

Cedarhurst,  New  York 

A  firm  believer  in  keeping  the  ladies  happy, 
Howie  let  the  Executive  Department  keep  him 
in  shape  for  week-ends  by  long  hours  of  walk-run 
which  he  supplemented  with  an  occasional  work- 
out in  the  fencing  or  wrestling  lofts.  No  slash, 
"H.J."  could  be  counted  to  spend  exam  week  wail- 
ing, "I'm  going  to  bilge."  Despite  his  vehement 
expressions  of  opinion  in  Bull  and  the  rumor  that 
he  hoisted  the  signal  to  submerge  while  on  Y.P. 
cruise,  he  is  still  with  us,  and  we  will  want  him  in 
the  Fleet.  Why?  Because  where  others  have 
ability,  "H.  J."  has  grit,  guts,  tenacity,  and  what 
the  Navy  needs  most — drive.

Norfolk.  Virginia 

Doug's  Southern  accent  is  touched  w  ith  enough  British  to  make  it  strangely  pleasant 

to  the  ear.   The  deep  South  touch  can  be  attributed  to  living  in  Norfolk,  the  English 

his  parents.    He  has  fought  a  long  hard  battle  with  the  Academic  Board,  but  has 

found  time  to  win  his  numerals  in  fencing  and  become  vice-president  of  the  Math  Club. 

)oug  loves  an  argument,  and  his  classmates  will  attest  that  he  seldom  loses.   His  two 

bies  are  stamps  and  a  ponderous  general  information  library,  which  has  turned  out 

to  be  of  valuable  aid  to  many  plebes. 


Denver,  Colorado 

Denver's  gift  to  the  fair  sex  gave  up  a  promising  radio  career  to  come  to  the  Naval 

ny.  but  his  talents  were  not  wasted  as  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  Masque- 

for  three  years,  the  third  as  director.    In  his  attempt  to  be  "one  of  the  boys," 

Harker  had  a  few  misunderstandings  with  the  Executive  Department,  but  he  still 

managed  to  outshine  his  roommates  in  regimental  rank.  Harker's  true  love  is  his  native 

lorado,  and  his  burning  ambition  is  to  settle  down  there  some  day  with  one  of 

the  bevvv  of  beautiful  women  who  adorn  his  locker  door.

"I  can  do  that  can't  I?"  is  Ken's  own  quick 
answer  to  the  thousand  ambiguities  in  the  time 
worn  book  of  regulations.  O.D.'s,  pap  sheets,  and 
life  without  the  din  of  a  nickelodeon  stripped  off 
the  silver  wings  of  the  Army's  own  Air  Corps  and 
planted  Ken  firmly  behind  that  faithful  Corona 
that  typed  out  statements,  themes,  and  week- 
end invitations  at  a  rate  that  stymied  even  the  old 
maestro  himself  at  times.  Some  fight  for  gold

Deciding  that  he  wanted  a  commission  in  the 
Navy  rather  than  the  Army  bars,  "Pete  the  con- 
noisseur" arrived  a  determined  misogynist.  To 
prove  his  claim  that  the  Academy  was  a  country 
club,  he  played  soccer,  sailed  and  dragged  (after 
shedding  his  protective  mantle  youngster  year). 
When  he  was  not  occupied  with  these  matters,  he 
was  at  home  on  his  bunk,  which  he  had  learned  to 
appreciate  during  his  boyhood  in  Chile.  A  keen 
wit  and  a  vast  supply  of  ballads  charmed  his  class- 
mates here,  and  will  continue  to  make  him  friends 
in  the  future.

Houston,  Texas 

This  Texas  maverick,  a  direct  representative  of 
the  Houston  Chamber  of  Commerce,  walked  up 
the  ramp  to  the  Naval  Academy  via  N.R.O.T.C. 
"Dutt"  found  it  took  a  heap  of  work  to  conform 
himself  to  the  whims  of  a  thousand  or  so  bosses, 
but  it  didn't  take  the  "Brain"  long  to  figure  the 
system  out.  Fathoming  academics  was  much  less 
work  for  "Dutt,"  and  he  managed  to  stay  with  the 
fast  fifty.  He  hefted  a  mean  set  of  weights  in  his 
fight  for  body  beautiful.  Someday  he  hopes  to  be 
either  an  admiral  or  a  rancher  with  kids  and  cows 
all  over  the  place.

"Edwardo"  came  to  us  from  the  Fleet,  professing  to  know  little  and  care  less,  but 
it  didn't  take  us  long  to  find  out  he  was  only  kidding.  It  seems  as  though  Ed  has  always 
managed  to  catch  the  boat  and  then  stealthily  walk  off  with  the  best  berth.  When 
none  of  us  were  dragging,  Ed  dragged ;  when  we  bilged  steam,  Ed  pulled  sat;  and  when 
we  slipped  numbers  in  grease,  Ed  absented  himself  from  bunk  drill  to  participate  in 
an  all  season  sports  program.  If  his  consistency  at  beating  you  hollow  doesn't  drive 
you  crazy,  Ed's  dry  humor,  and  his  fatherly  touch  will  surely  win  his  associates  to  his 
host  of  friends

Vinton,  Iowa 

Wfth  an  insatiable  appetite  for  chow,  "Fish"  rarely  worried  about  such  a  trivial 
affair  as  studies.  For  him  academics  were  fruit,  and  he  easily  managed  to  stand  in  the 
upper  thousand  of  his  class.  This  stalwart  radiator  man  was  an  Iowan  from  stem  to 
stern,  and  woe  unto  him  who  denied  that  the  Corn  State  was  superlative  in  every 
degree.  "K.  W."  came  to  us  from  the  University  of  Iowa,  where  he  was  a  pre-law 
student  and  a  staunch  fraternity  man.  Although  convinced  by  the  upperclass  during 
his  plebe  year  that  the  Academy  was  no  fraternity,  "Bud"  never  lost  his  cheerful 
smile. 


Portland,  Oregon 

"Portland,  Oregon;  God's  gift  to  the  world," 
was  Bud's  answer  to  that  well  known  question, 
"Where  ya'  from,  Mister?"  His  favorite  recrea- 
tion, next  to  women,  was  sailing,  and  if  you  ever 
wanted  another  man  for  your  crew,  he  was  the  one 
to  ask.  An  engineer  in  the  Navy  before  entering 
the  Academy,  he  found  Steam  to  be  "fruit  duty." 
Bud  found  a  liking  for  aviation  while  taking 
CAA.  training,  and  his  main  ambition  is  to  get 
his  wings  after  graduation.  Good  luck  and  happy 
landings,  Bud.

plenty  of  results  in  the  way  of  athletic  recognition. 
As  a  youngster,  he  won  his  "N*"  and  during  first

knew  how  to  relax  as  well  as  work,  and  nothing 
but  a  broken  leg  could  keep  him  from  dragging

Glen  left  his  happy  home  in  Denver  and  his 
sailing  on  Grand  Lake  to  come  to  the  Naval

Almost  unaffected  by  the  fairer  sex,  he  dragged 
only  on  big  occasions.  As  director  of  the  Classical 
Music  Sound  Unit,  he  tried  to  instill  a  bit  of  cul- 
ture in  this  institution,  and  in  a  few  instances  he 
was  successful.  Other  than  graduating  and  getting 
into  the  fight,  his  ambition  is  to  return  in  a  few 
years  and,  as  an  enterprising  member  of  the 
Executive  Department,  institute  a  few  reforms  in 
the  system.

Chuck  came  to  us  from  a  snowy  village  in 
Illinois,  laden  with  Boy  Scout  medals  and  full 
of  tales  of  the  pocketless  pants  he  had  worn  at 
V.M.I.  His  timber  wolf  expression  when  he 
laughed,  and  his  constant  reference  to  the  fair  sex 
made  us  think  that  he  was  quite  a  lady's  man,  but 
we  felt  that  deep  down  there  was  really  only  one. 
Chuck  made  quite  a  name  for  himself  amongst 
yawl  men  and  in  the  wrestling  loft,  and  if  he  can 
beat  the  rap  with  his  eyes,  he  will  do  the  same  when

Dan  skipped  out  of  high  school  after  the  third 
year  in  order  to  attend  a  preparatory  school.  De- 
spite this  initial  handicap,  Dan  hardly  knows  the 
meaning  of  "tree"  or  "bush";  nevertheless,  his 
favorite  expression  is,  "Jeez,  I  bilged  today."  He 
exploded  the  myth  about  Navy  juniors,  and 
amazed  his  classmates  by  his  knowledge  of  every- 
thing from  Naval  planes  to  Marine  ordnance.  His 
classmates  will  testify  that  the  Academy  has 
changed  this  smiling  Californian.  We'll  remember 
him  as  a  devil  may  care  lad,  always  ready  to  try 
anything  once. 


Minneapolis,  Minnesota 

Hailing  from  the  "Land  of  ten  thousand  lakes,"  Jack  answered  the  call  of  the  sea  to 
start  his  career  as  a  "boot"  in  San  Diego.  After  fifteen  months  of  trying  to  make  a 
sailor  of  him,  the  Navy  sent  him  to  Annapolis.  Always  ready  for  a  subtle  bit  of  humor, 
he  was  known  as  a  happy  guy  with  a  ready  smile.  When  not  engaged  in  his  favorite 
sports  of  lacrosse,  sailing,  or  dragging,  "I  a  Guentz"  could  be  found  with  his  pipes. 
A  Midwestern  isolationist,  he  was  against  all  entanglements  with  the  Executive

Lake  Erie's  storms  blew  "Rocky"  to  the  Naval  Academy.  An  easy-going,  indepen- 
dent fellow,  "R.  R."  was  always  ready  to  play  a  joke  on  someone  or  take  those  played 
on  him.  Bob  usually  spent  his  energy  on  week-ends  instead  of  using  it  up  on  academics, 
but  his  aptitude  for  Math  and  Bull  kept  him  fairly  high  in  his  class.  Although  sleeping 
seemed  to  be  his  favorite  pastime,  "Rocky"  spent  a  great  deal  of  his  time  in  company 
sports.  Whenever  you  see  a  "pig-boat"  tied  up  in  the  Pacific,  look  for  Bob.  He'll  be 
there  if  he  has  his  way  about  it.

"Happy  Hogan"  used  to  delight  in  following 
the  plow  back  home  on  the  farm  in  Gravel  Switch, 
but  when  the  Navy  brought  him  "up  Nawth" 
everything  changed.  He  went  for  his  gym  clothes 
in  a  big  way,  and  spent  most  of  his  time  expanding 
his  chest  or  working  out  with  his  super-duper  rub- 
ber bands.  "Hooligan's"  biggest  worries  were  his 
hair  and  his  O.A.O.  Perpetual  brushing  only 
seemed  to  make  that  pink  spot  grow  brighter.

One  of  the  zeros  in  Louisville's  "400,"  "Tucky"  journeyed  up  to  the  Academy  with

new  methods — ones  to  meet  his  own  purposes — of  doing  old  and  standard  tasks.  This 
f  ingenuity  brought  him  to  the  attention  of  many,  and  is  merely  one  of  the  reasons 
for  his  multitude  of  friends.  The  women  had  a  way  with  "Tucky,"  and  his  heart 
changed  as  regular  as  the  seasons.  He  will  be  best  remembered  for  his  love  of  a  good

Jake  was  an  easy-going  fellow  but,  unlike  most 
folks  of  that  type,  he  could  always  be  counted  on 
to  do  his  share,  and  do  it  well.  He  was  seldom 
bothered  by  academics — he  just  took  them  in  his 
stride,  reading  an  article  in  Time  or  writing  a  let- 
ter instead  of  worrying.  A  natural  in  all  sports, 
Jake  chose  to  perfect  himself  in  only  one — base- 
ball. This  job  he  did  so  completely  that,  should 
the  Navy  ever  lose  this  likeable  Southerner,  it  will 
undoubtedly  be  to  the  major  leagues.  Whether 
it  be  a  fast  game  of  ball,  or  a  big  job  in  the  Fleet, 
you'll  always  be  able  to  count  on  Jake.

of  the  unlimited  facilities  the  Academy  offered  for 
physical  development  and  recreational  pastimes. 
Orchestra,  company  sports,  and  sailing  were  only 
a  few  of  his  diversified  interests.  However,  none 
of  these  were  allowed  to  prevent  this  "Jack  of  all

record.  Classmates  will  always  remember  him  for 
his  persistent  good  nature  and  amiable  personality.

What  manner  of  man  is  this,  who  wears  his  trou  in  parenthesis?  Louie  Klug  (pro- 
nounce it  Kloog,  mister!)  never  did  get  his  knees  "in  ranks."  His  muscular  build  is  a 
result  of  work  on  his  Wisconsin  farm  and  three  years  of  push-ups.  After  breaking  a 
thumb  in  wrestling,  "Little  Atlas"  turned  to  sailing  the  yachts.  When  this  prospective 
Steam  prof  wasn't  dragging  from  Baltimore,  he  smoked  a  mean  pipe  and  held  five  aces 
rather  consistently.  Louie's  tendency  for  seasickness  dictates  subs,  where  he  is  sure 
to  excel.

military  tactics  and  strategy.  Although  he  has  run  afoul  of  the  Academic  Board,  he 
has  never  been  bothered  by  the  limit  of  demerits,  as  he  acquired  a  high  regard  for  reg- 
ulations from  his  previous  naval  service.  Now,  after  three  years  on  the  Severn,  "Korby"

University  of  Minnesota,  this  dapper  chap  always 
looked  as  much  like  an  ad  in  Esquire  as  the  reg 
book  would  let  him.  The  motto  of  the  "Larson

Annapolis  is  a  long  way  from  California,  but

heavyweight  who  can  always  be  relied  on  for  a

the  afternoon,  and  he  can  be  found  on  the  football 
field,  or  boxing  a  few  fast  rounds.  I  f  he's  not  there;

fy/cde.  McrtuUt  MdU*, 

Morton,  Illinois 

Striding  out  of  Illinois  full  of  stories  of  the  great  Northwest,  Curly  with  his  ten  inch 
boots  soon  had  his  friends  wondering  if  there  wasn't  a  John  Bunyan.  His  craftsman- 
ship didn't  end  with  tall  tales,  however,  as  his  many  excellent  Model  Club  projects 
proved.  Curly's  main  objectives  at  the  Academy  were  to  pass  Dago  and  outwit  the 
system.  He  was  thoroughly  successful  in  his  efforts  against  the  system,  and  managed 
after  many  trials  to  prove  his  merit  as  a  linguist.  In  defiance  of  his  lengthy  stories  and 
experienced  advice,  he  was  always  true  to  his  O.A.O. 


Mac 


Monty 


Sevierville,  Tennessee 


"Monty"  laced  up  his  boots  and  left  his  beloved  Tennessee  Hills  to  see  what  the 
Navy  had  to  offer.  His  hesitant  rising  when  reveille  sounded  earned  him  a  reputation 
as  the  sleepiest  mountaineer  alive.  His  chief  interest  lay  in  writing  his  daily  letter  to 
the  girl  in  the  Smokies,  and  without  her  daily  response  his  big  friendly  smile  would  be 
somewhat  obscure.  As  for  academics,  "Monty"  always  confirmed  that  all  above  2.5 
was  wasted — he  was  not  extravagant.  Some  wine,  the  woman,  and  a  pair  of  wings  will 
be  his  future. 


Bob 

Denver,  Colorado 

Bob  came  to  the  Academy  from  Denver,  Colo- 
rado, via  the  U.S.  Marine  Corps  and  N.A.P.C. 
With  him  he  brought  an  exceptional  ability,  and 
prowess  in  poetry  and  athletics  alike.  Besides 
being  an  active  wrestler,  he  proved  his  knack  for 
golf  in  many  matches.  His  humorous  antics,  so 
well  known  to  his  classmates,  did  much  to  liven 
up  the  otherwise  dull  study  hours.  Bob's  greatest 
ambition  is  to  get  back  amongst  the  "leather- 
necks," and  we  know  he  will  carry  the  name 
"Devil  Dog"  to  greater  fame.

Hailing  from  the  land  of  sunshine.  "CentavcT  brought  from  his  native  state  of  Cali- 
fornia to  the  sun-forsaken  shores  of  the  Severn  a  sense  of  humor  and  an  artistic  eye  for 
feminine  pulchritude  that  will  remain  forever  in  the  memories  of  his  classmates.  Only 
success  and  happiness  can  result  from  his  diligent  perseverance,  academically,  socially,

Frank  traded  the  wide  open  spaces  of  the  Lone 
Star  State  for  the  confines  of  the  Academy,  where 
his  reverence,  conscientiousness,  and  sincerity 
were  soon  apparent  to  all.  His  numerous  talents 
included  abilities  as  a  linguist,  a  musician,  and  a 
seaman.  A  member  of  the  choir,  he  became  its 
organist  during  their  regular  practices.  His  pro- 
ficiency in  Spanish  earned  him  the  coveted  inter- 
preter's certificate  and  the  nickname  of  "Pancho." 
Through  many  hours  of  sailing  and  practice,  he 
became  the  skipper  of  the  "Green  Hornet."

Fayetteville,  Ohio 

No  one  understands  why  Ray  left  his  home 
thirty  miles  from  the  "Beautiful  Ohio"  to  come  to 
Crabtown.  Just  seventeen,  a  Podunk  High  School 
graduate  with  a  natural  ability  for  professional 
academics,  he  soon  had  even  the  "savvy"  college 
men  asking  for  his  advice  in  Math  and  Skinny. 
Workouts  in  the  gym  and  sailing  occupied  his 
spare  time.  Ray  always  followed  big  league  base- 
ball closely,  and  displayed  a  boundless  interest  in 
aviation.  During  study  hours  he  earned  a  repu- 
tation for  himself  as  a  "letter  writing  Casanova" 
that  brought  forth  many  potential  queens. 


Ba^tuel  QanAo-n,  Roe 

Pleasant  Ridge,  Michigan 

When  Sam  came  to  the  Academy  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan,  he  was  steering  for  two  goals 
— a  ring  and  a  place  in  the  Fleet.  When  he  wasn't 
beating  around  the  academic  bushes,  he  played 
a  good  game  of  soccer  or  soaked  up  some  salt  on 
the  Highland  Light.  Next  to  dragging,  eating 
seems  to  be  his  favorite  hobby.  Sam  was  also 
noted  for  a  thorough  knowledge  of  Omar  Khayyam 
and  the  Watch  Officers  Guide.  As  his  hairline  keeps 
receding,  the  Navy  will  someday  have  a  bald- 
headed  pilot  on  their  hands. 


Robie 


Rochester,  New  York 

Come  what  may,  there'll  never  be  another  to  fill  the  shoes  of  our  Robie.  He  mothered 
us  when  we  were  sick,  and  serenaded  us  out  of  our  bad  moods.  With  his  constant  good 
humor,  Robie  was  the  willing  object  of  our  teasing,  and  his  repertoire  of  parlor  tricks 
always  kept  us  laughing.  A  spark  on  the  diamond  and  a  cat  on  the  dance  floor,  he  was 
equally  at  ease  tossing  fast  balls  or  smooth  lines.  Needless  to  say,  Robie's  friendship 
is  one  of  the  most  valued  things  we  will  take  with  us  when  we  leave  the  Academy.

Charley 


Qltaniel  AntkuA.  (lulu* 

Jamestown,  North  Dakota 

'Did  somebody  mention  a  brick?"  asks  Charley  with  fiendish  glee  as  he  rubs  his 
hands  in  anticipation  of  a  bricking  party.  Any  week-end  you  can  see  this  jovial  Da- 
kotan  running  around,  stag,  appraising  his  friends'  drags.  I  say  stag  because  this  great 
feminine  critic  is  the  ranking  Red  Mike  of  the  Regiment.  We  can't  figure  out  whether 
he  is  too  particular  or  too  shy.  Aside  from  this  hobby,  Charley  got  an  early  start  cor- 
roding his  small  portion  of  gold  braid  by  being  the  first  in  '46  to  get  his  yawl  command. 
Combined  past  record  and  present  receding  hairline  indicate  a  future  "brass  hat."

Santa  Fe,  New  Mexico 

Although  Joe  spent  a  great  deal  of  his  time  de- 
fending New  Mexico  from  verbal  attacks  by  his 
shipmates,  he  found  time  to  be  an  underclass 
swimming  manager,  a  position  of  little  glory  and 
much  work,  for  two  years.  He  also  participated 
in  numerous  company  sports,  bringing  in  his  share 
of  winning  points.  His  "savoir  faire"  in  the  social 
world,  and  his  handling  of  Spanish  have  won  many 
a  maiden's  heart.  Joe's  commanding  officer  will 
find  him  a  mighty  handy  man  to  have  around,  and 
we  all  hope  he  gets  the  sub  duty  he  wants.

Undoubtedly  it  was  an  accident  that,  after  two  years  of  college  life  at  the  University 

nati. "Pablo  suddenly  found  himself  in  Crabtown.     Lazy  by  virtue  of  last

To  hear  "El  Mono"  give  his  sales  talk  on  Penn- 
sylvania is  to  wonder  why  he  ever  left  the  "Key- 
stone State."  Maryland  was  different  for  Bill,  but 
it  didn't  change  his  sunny  disposition.  With  a 
witty  remark  for  every  occasion,  he  kept  his  class- 
mates smiling,  even  during  exam  week.  Such  a 
personality  along  with  his  Latin  blood  made  him 
quite  the  "Don  Juan,"  until  he  met  "La.  Monita." 
With  a  real  love  for  "roughing  it"  in  the  Pennsyl- 
vania mountains,  and  plenty  of  athletic  ability, 
Bill  is  a  real  man's  man.  His  capacity  for  hard 
work  in  all  fields  will  carry  him  far  in  the  Navy.

as  a  youngster  wrote  Bull  exams  in  an  hour  so  he 
could  hurry  back  to  the  B.  and  L.  Recreation 
Society  and  Elbow  Room.  As  biography  editor

When  he  came  out  of  the  hills  of  East  Tennessee, 
"Daisy"  was  fired  with  the  burning  desire  to  be- 
come a  competent  Naval  officer.  He  weathered 
the  combined  assaults  of  the  Executive,  Aca- 
demic, and  Medical  Departments  in  their  at- 
tempts to  dislodge  him  from  his  purpose.  Practice 
sessions  on  a  blaring  trumpet  caused  verbal  riots 
among  neighbors,  but  the  same  trumpet  did  not 
fail  to  find  appreciation  in  the  NA.  10.  With  a 
jovial  smile  and  boisterous  personality,  his  devil- 
may-care  attitude  is  continually  dominant.  "Viva

"New  York — it's  wonderful !"  or  "Hey,  ya  got  a  skag?"  ought  to  identify  "Big  Navy 
Bob"  anywhere.  One  of  those  who  got  this  stuff,  life  was  reasonably  happy  and  never 
much  of  a  strain.  Study  hours  were  spent  on  a  length  "nightly"  to  his  O.A.O.,  helping 
his  wife  out  on  the  books,  singing  in  his  dull  monotone,  or  just  batting  the  breeze. 
Athletics  were  centered  about  lacrosse,  unless  his  dragging  was  classified  along  with 
it.  Quiet  week-ends  were  a  sure  indication  that  this  slick  operator  and  his  suffering 
wife  were  both  hopelessly  broke.  Whether  you  get  those  wings  or  that  "tin  can,"  we'll 
be  seeing  you  out  there,  Bob.

A  self-imposed  Red  Mike,  a  prolific  arguer,  and  a  good  guy — that's  Willie.  Despite 
the  incessant  struggle  with  the  academics,  life  was  a  pacific  existence.  Give  him  a 
Saturday  night  poker  session,  a  bit  of  sailing,  an  occasional  uproarious  week-end.  or 
a  bit  of  rollicking  camaraderie,  and  "Chief"  was  content.  Song  and  devilish  good- 
naturedness,  plus  a  ready  carton  of  skags  endeared  him  to  wife  and  buddies  alike. 
After  surviving  tortuous  years  together  as  youngster  and  first  class,  we  have  a  wealth 
of  memories — good  luck,  Willie.

Seldom  letting  business  interfere  with  pleasure, 
John,  athlete  and  playboy,  easily  made  the  grade 
as  a  scholar.  From  the  tournament  courts  of 
Michigan  he  brought  his  strong  forehand  to  add 
to  the  power  of  a  great  Navy  tennis  team.  His 
two  hobbies,  photography  and  women,  have 
brought  John  substantial  rewards.  His  purse  full 
of  cash  prizes  will  vouch  for  one  and  the  lovely 
scenery  on  his  locker  door  the  other.  Within  the 
halls,  he  could  never  be  accused  of  "Word,  failure 
to  get."  Nothing,  even  so  small  as  an  idle  rumor, 
could  ever  escape  his  freckled  ears.  After  gradua-

he  continually  made  us  envious  by  flashing  bil-

Though  Jack  is  an  "Army  Brat,"  he  forsook  West  Point  to  get  his  schooling  here  at 
Crabtown.  He  soon  gained  fame  as  a  chowhound,  always  outdistancing  his  nearest 
competitor  at  any  table.  His  interests  were  with  football  in  the  spring  and  fall,  and 
he  could  be  found  on  his  sack  the  rest  of  the  time.  Few  men  have  had  a  harder  race 
with  the  Academic  Department  than  Jack,  but  he  made  up  for  his  academic  defi- 
ciencies with  an  uncanny  ability  for  identifying  any  airplane  he  might  see  or  hear.

demic Departments  did  little  to  daunt  his  spirit,  and  his  dashing  figure  manifested 
itself  at  most  of  the  hops.  He  was  one  of  our  unsung  heroes  who  made  himself  a  martyr 
to  gymnasium  work  and  swimming,  but  his  philosophy  of  life — to  enjoy  life  to  the 
fullest — he  vigorously  put  into  practice.  Appealing  earnestness  and  wit  accompany 
Ed  wherever  he  goes;  and  that  isn't  all.  Add  loyalty,  ambition,  and  a  sincere  interest

a  berth  on  the  water  polo  squad.  "Rosebud" 
could  be  seen  as  well  as  heard.  His  prolific  gift  of 
conversation  is  the  thing  we  will  all  remember  and 
his  6'  2"  of  height  and  ponderous  feet  will  be  a 
giveaway  anywhere.  In  spite  of  Navy  indoctri- 
nation, his  collegiate  tendencies  would  appear  to

henceforth  known  as  "Bing."  With  his  former 
experience  in  the  pugilistic  field  to  aid  him  "Bing" 
soon  gained  recognition  as  a  killer  in  both  com- 
pany and  regimental  boxing.  Cahalan  also  be-

Frank  came  to  us  from  the  Fleet  and  his  accent

him  to  enjoy  cards,  music,  tobacco,  dragging,  and 
athletics  in  his  spare  moments  without  over-in- 
dulgence in  any  of  them.  Frank's  major  sport  was 
perhaps  "dragging  blind"  and  needless  to  say  his 
experiences  were  many  and  varied.  Occasionally 
the  law  of  averages  caught  up  with  him  even 
though  an  overall  picture  of  his  experiences  is 
rather  pleasant.  His  quick,  frank  expression  of 
his  every  thought  has  done  much  to  cause  us  all

Dave  didn't  drag  as  often  as  some,  but  when  he 
did  all  hands  sighed.  However,  his  talents  didn't 
stop  at  the  ability  to  choose  the  right  girl  for  the 
week-end.  As  the  villain  in  Masqueraders,  he 
aroused  the  hate  of  the  Regiment  by  his  character 
portrayal;  but,  as  himself  everyday,  he  gained  the 
friendship  of  all  by  his  sincerity  and  easy  manner. 
A  member  of  the  "Friday  Night  Poker  Club,"  he 
let  nothing  interfere  with  his  attendance  each 
week.  In  that,  as  in  all  things,  the  gentleman 
from  Indiana  was  cool  and  steady  when  the  chips 
were  down.

Peru,  Illinois 

The  monotonous  routine  of  military  life  can  get  into  a  man  and  make  him  as  cal- 
loused and  dull  as  his  duties  must  necessarily  be.  It  takes  courage  to  preserve  dignity, 
a  well  balanced  sense  of  values,  and  a  patient  manner.  Bob  has  retained  all  of  these 
qualities  during  his  transition  from  an  impressionable  college  boy  to  a  Naval  officer. 
He  keeps  his  sensitiveness  beneath  a  shell  of  calm  efficiency.  Only  his  closest  friends 
know  the  depth  of  his  perception  and  the  strength  of  his  feelings  for  his  convictions. 
His  carefully  written  letters  and  his  knowledge  of  many  books  are  products  of  his  spare 
time  occupation.

Big  Diz 


Oak  Harbor,  Ohio 

From  the  shores  of  Lake  Erie  to  the  banks  of  the  Severn  is  a  long  jump,  but  "Big 
Diz"  made  it  with  only  one  thought  in  mind — to  become  a  saltwater  sailor  with  the 
Navy  as  his  career.  He  hastily  discarded  the  carefree  attitude  that  two  years  of  college 
had  developed,  and  settled  down  to  serious  work.  An  avid  sports  fan,  he  never  tired 
of  echoing  praises  of  Navy's  teams,  although  remaining  a  bit  partisan  to  Midwestern 
football.  He  possessed  a  hearty  laugh,  a  love  for  steaks,  and  an  aversion  to  his  nemesis, 
Dago.  From  here  on  it's  destroyer  duty  and  the  Pacific  for  "Diz."

Georgetown,  Delaware 

During  his  stay  at  the  Academy,  Bill  has  tried 
to  prove  that  Georgetown,  Delaware,  is  the  home 
of  true  Romeos.  To  judge  from  the  lovely  girls  he 
has  dragged,  one  must  conclude  that  he  has 
proved  his  point.  Between  week-ends,  "Spic" 
had  his  sessions  with  the  Steam  and  Dago  De- 
partments, but  he  managed  to  stick  it  out  and 
fool  the  experts  by  passing.  Regimental  and  com- 
pany boxing  were  Bill's  main  athletic  achieve- 
ments, and  he  did  well  in  both.  All  Bill's  class- 
mates wish  him  luck  in  the  Air  Corps,  his  next 
goal.

Toronto,  Ohio 

With  a  big  dumb-bell  under  each  arm  "Big  Bill" 
Francy,  in  the  summer  of  '42,  entered  the  Acad- 
emy. Bill  was  soon  pinned  with  the  name  of 
"Tecumseh."  But  he  never  had  to  depend  on  this 
"good  luck  god"  for  his  fine  success  in  academics. 
Nor  was  Bill's  interest  limited  to  the  books.  He 
enjoyed  a  gay  and  active  social  life,  and  also  made 
a  good  port  man  on  the  varsity  and  plebe  crews. 
One  thing  "Bernard"  is  concerned  about,  in  going 
into  the  Fleet,  is  how  and  where  he  will  be  able  to 
get  his  work-out.  He  will,  without  a  doubt,  have 
to  take  his  dumb-bells  to  sea. 


Bill 


Memphis.  Tennessee 

Having  traveled  extensively  to  the  four  corners  of  the  globe  and  having  studied  for 
two  years  at  Sewanee  University.  Billy  was  well  qualified  to  make  the  decision  on  the 
Navy  as  a  career.  Active  on  the  Ring  Dance  Committee,  the  Navy  crew,  and  a  yawl 
sailor  with  few  peers,  Bill  reaped  the  greatest  benefits  possible  from  his  life  on  the 
Severn.  While  at  the  Academy,  Bill's  overflowing  personality  and  cheerful  smile  have 
gained  him  many  friends  among  the  officers  and  midshipmen,  and,  above  all,  char- 
acterized him  as  a  truly  representative  Southern  gentleman.

oldie  came  to  us  with  three  loves:  sleep,  chow  and  women,  and  it  looks  as  though 

the  Academy  didn't  dull  his  appetite  for  any  of  them.   Academics  never  bothered  him 

he  seldom  bothered  them.    When  he  wasn't  pumping  water  out  of  his 

oldie  challenged  all  to  ping-pong.    Sometimes  he  amazed  the  students  of 

logy  by  his  energetic  bursts  of  speed  on  the  track.  With  his  quick  wit  and  latent 

he  provided  many  moments  of  hilarity  for  us  and  made  the  tedious  schedule 

mewhat  less  monotonous.    A  banging  on  the  door  succeeded  by  a  staccato

The  big  guy  from  Jersey  came  into  the  Academy 
the  hard  way,  via  the  Fleet.  Since  he's  been  here 
he's  shown  us  his  capacity  for  hard  work  and  his 
ability  to  take  over  whatever  job  comes  his  way. 
Dick  has  been  a  busy  man  since  he  swapped  his 
sailor's  blues  for  those  of  a  midshipman.  He  spent 
most  of  his  time  in  yawl  sailing,  but  found  time 
to  play  a  bit  of  plebe  baseball,  way  back  then,  and 
to  turn  in  a  pair  of  swell  performances  for  the 
Masqueraders.

The  best  way  to  describe  Johnny  is  that  "he 
knows  what  he  knows,  when  he  knows  it."  This 
includes  not  only  information  about  the  Fleet 
from  which  he  came  but  also  such  unimportant 
things  as  wine,  women,  and  song.  Johnny's  only 
difficulties  have  been  with  the  Executive  Depart- 
ment for  he  does  well  in  academics  and  is  a  more 
or  less  versatile  athlete.  When  not  sailing  a  yawl, 
he  passes  his  leisure  time  dragging  or  sleeping. 
His  falling  hair  and  tired  eyes  make  evident  the 
fact  that  his  life  at  the  Academy  has  not  been  so 
happy  as  his  cheerful  nature  might  otherwise 
indicate.

Sports  arguments,  liberties,  and  soccer  were 
Fran's  specialties.  His  never  failing  memory  of 
champs  and  contests  of  the  past  made  him  a  con- 
stant winner  in  verbal  battles,  and  his  sense  of 
humor  and  knowledge  of  the  "hot  spots"  made 
him  a  must  on  any  liberty  party.  Dick's  reckless, 
rough  and  tumble  style  established  him  as  one  of 
the  mainstays  of  the  plebe  and  varsity  soccer 
squads.  "X"  became  famous  for  his  ability  to 
make  laughs  when  the  studies  were  roughest  and 
the  D.O.'s  toughest,  especially  when  telling 
versions  of  his  frequent  encounters  with  the  Exec- 
utive Department.

A  soft  zephyr  from  down  Dixie  way  brought  "Big  John"  to  us  after  a  year's  layover 
at  Virginia  Polytechnic  Institute.  Since  Frank  had  tasted  military  discipline  at 
V.P.I.,  the  "system"  did  not  greatly  inconvenience  him.  Frank  devoted  his  talents 
to  battalion  pushball  in  the  winter  and  to  being  a  strong,  silent  friend  the  year  around. 
When  not  violently  exercising,  Frank  could  invariably  be  found  on  his  bunk  engaged 
in  a  sack  drill.  Place  these  ingredients  in  a  pan,  stir  gently,  and  the  resulting  product 
is  Frank  Johnston,  a  right  good  guy.

Legend  has  it  that  "Gauf-Kauf"  entered  the  Naval  Academy  carrying  a  half-ton 
anvil  under  one  arm  and  football  shoes  under  the  other,  bellowing  loudly,  "Where's 
the  gym?"  Immediately  Bob  commenced  to  breeze  through  three  years  of  outdoor 
sports,  boxing,  trick  knees,  bruises,  and  Navy  chow,  still  managing  to  stand  high  in 
his  class.  Avoiding  demerits  easily,  Bob  had  spare  time  for  his  daily  workout,  reading 
"Hunting  and  Fishing,"  and  inspecting  plebes'  lockers  for  snapshots  of  the  fair  sex. 
No  meal  was  complete  without  his  cry  of  "Pass  the  dessert!"  and  his  rendition  of  the

Athletics  and  the  social  graces  were  more  in  his  line.    He  captained  our

didn't  take  his  many  friends  long  to  learn  that 
"Lil"  had  interests  other  than  plebe  football  and 
battalion  sports.  His  respect  for  academics  and 
devotion  to  Barbara  Anne  commanded  the  ad- 
miration of  all  who  knew  him.  Reserved,  self-re- 
liant and  capable,  "Crate"  possesses  an  amiabil- 
ity worthy  of  being  anyone's  goal.

Rarely,  if  ever,  will  there  be  another  Ernie. 
This  little  man  bustling  down  the  corridor  over- 
flowing with  wit,  leaves  an  unforgetable  impres- 
sion. His  gay,  lighthearted  personality  eased 
many  an  unpleasant  hour.  Born  and  matured  in 
a  West  Virginia  valley,  he  brought  to  his  new 
home  not  only  a  love  of  the  countryside,  but  also 
a  strange  new  delicacy  quickly  named  by  his  fel- 
low compatriots  "Spinach  Turnovers."  Table 
tennis  and  an  intensive  zeal  for  knowledge  con- 
sumed most  of  Lrnie's  leisure,  but  he  still  found

"Dear  laundry,  let's  get  hot  on  i860."  "Doc" 
will  always  be  remembered  for  this  typical  tidbit 
of  Lyster  humor,  however,  his  blind  drags  rate  a 
close  second.  Company  sports  were  his  dish  with 
baseball  his  first  love,  but  even  a  good  ball  game 
failed  to  rival  his  thirst  for  classical  music.  Aca- 
demics were  a  tough  obstacle  for  him,  but  as  long 
as  he  could  sack  out  with  a  Stokowski  record  fill- 
ing the  air  with  music,  textbooks  would  not  worry 
him.  "Doc's"  pride  in  his  bearing  and  dress  re- 
vealed his  love  for  the  service  of  which  he  is  so 
much  a  part.

"Hey  'Mab,'  "how  do  you  work  this  prob?"  was  the  familiar  cry  as  people  came  to 
his  room.  A  true  Midwesterner,  he  had  time  for  lighter  things  in  addition  to  academics, 
such  as  decorating  Smoke  Park  one  May  Day.  Although  "Mab"  seldom  dragged,  he 
was  not  a  "Red  Mike"  :  he  was  true  to  Margaret  Ann  back  home.  Every  season  found 
him  out  for  a  different  sport.  He  claimed  that  anyone  who  had  darker  hair  than  his 
was  not  a  blonde  which  left  very  few  in  this  world.  Listening  to  swing  records  and 
starting  a  good  argument  are  "Bob's"  realization  of  Utopia.

build  a  new  wing  to  Bancroft  Hall.  Had  he  been  able  to  pass  on  the  same  line  to  the 
powers  that  be  that  he  handed  to  his  drags,  Dave  would  have  topped  his  class.  To  him 
academics  were  only  a  necessary  evil  while  classical  music,  boxing,  and  the  Readers 
Digest  claimed  most  of  his  time.  Ever  a  thrill  seeker,  Dave  should  find  his  share  in

When  the  Lend-Lease  plan  took  Matty's  tin

ward the  Naval  Academy.  Not  one  to  let  his  op- 
portunity slip  by,  he  made  use  of  the  many  Acad- 
emy facilities.  The  benefits  gained  from  weight- 
lifting,  the  poise  and  bearing  acquired  in  fencing, 
along  with  his  inherent  taciturn  nature  marked 
him  as  one  of  the  strong  silent  type.  Although 
persistent  in  his  studies  and  very  indulgent  in 
privileges,  Matty  took  time  out  to  look  after  other 
people's  interests.  When  academics  became  dif- 
ficult or  tedious  tasks  arose,  Matty's  sarcastic 
humor  came  to  the  foreground  underlined  througr 
out  by  an  apt  "Things  are  tough  all  around."

To  consume  the  rest  of  his  time  he  most  willingly  entered  in  the  pleasant

d  to  a  certain  pretty  Miss  showed  where  his  interest  lay.   A  genial,  robust  fellow 

i  a  keen  sense  of  humor,  his  quips  were  gems.  He  was  a  lover  of  the  finer  things  in 

had  a  knack  of  making  friends,  both  of  which  will  assure  him  a  full  anc

Milwaukee,  Wisconsin 

"Bon  Temps  Mac"  came  to  the  Academy  via

late  formation  "fraps"  which  Mac  received  during 
plebe  and  youngster  years.  When  the  poker  club 
wasn't  in  session,  Mac  could  usually  be  found  in 
the  fencing  loft.  The  hospital,  according  to  Mac, 
is  a  wonderful  place  to  rest  and  meet  nurses  dur- 
ing academic  year.  Mac  is  a  true  Mid- Westerner, 
claiming  that  Milwaukee  has  the  best  beer  and

There  was  also  a  certain  nonchalant  attitude  to-

garding women.  Bruce  was  a  cross-country  run- 
ner, a  good  one  too,  but  somehow  his  bunk  always 
seemed  more  welcome  to  him  than  anything  else; 
but  perhaps  young  men  need  lots  of  sleep!  There

Bill  brought  along  two  significant  character- 
istics when  he  trekked  from  Baltimore  to  Annap- 
olis. The  first  was  his  natural  and  unassuming 
attitude  which  so  belied  his  natural  flair  for  things 
nautical.  The  second  was  an  amazing  propensity 
for  sleep.  A  terror  on  the  soccer  field,  Bill  buoyed 
up  the  Navy  line  for  three  years  and  was  an  out- 
standing factor  in  the  impressive  record  that 
Tommy  Taylor's  boys  hung  up  during  this  period. 
Equally  at  home  on  the  athletic  field,  in  the  class-

After  two  years  in  engineering  college  at  the

State  to  see  what  water  looked  like.  Bob  objected 
strongly  to  the  nickname,  "Swede,"  proclaiming 
himself  to  be  Danish  and  Norwegian,  but  not 
Swedish.  His  classmates  finally  chose  the  course 
of  least  resistance  and  he  is  known  as  "Bob"  or 
"Pouls."  Bob  took  an  active  part  in  company 
boxing  and  yawl  sailing  to  obtain  relaxation  from 
careful  attention  to  his  academics.

During  the  summer  of  '40,  Nuge  left  cerulean  Lake  Michigan  and  a  trim  starboat 
for  the  more  restricted  area  of  "Severn's  shores."  Due  to  inability  to  savvy  Math  and 
susceptiveness  to  Maryland  weather — terminating  with  a  pneumonia  attack  during 
first  youngster  fall — the  Academic  Board  lengthened  Nuge's  curriculum.  Undaunted 
by  slipstick  stratagem,  Nuge  exercised  his  extra-curricular  activities  to  great  advan- 
tage— the  captaincy  of  a  varsity  starboat  and  an  unequaled  dragging  record  are  two 
of  many  achievements.  Friday  evenings  were  not  complete  without  the  usual  session 
at  "Chez  Nuge"  where  all  hands  profited  from  his  excellent  sense  of  humor  and  spark-

be  said  that  he  didn't  have  a  care  in  the  world,  for  in  the  evenings  a  magazine  or  a 
model  airplane  was  of  more  interest  to  him  than  a  text  book,  while  on  any  morning,  he 
could  be  seen  pondering  over  the  daily  newspaper.  He  always  found  time  to  write  a 
letter  to  that  attractive  Rebel  girl  whose  picture  adorned  his  desk.  An  amiable  com-

seriously.  A  firm  believer  and  a  devoted  follower  of  the  fine  art  of  dragging,  he  was 
found  at  all  the  hops.  Above  all  Jack  has  a  swell  sense  of  humor,  and  our  good  times

ton High,  Overton,  "God's  country,"  Texas.  A 
living  proof  that  sa voirs  are  born  not  made,  he 
managed  to  star  with  absolutely  no  visible  effort. 
A  great  portion  of  his  study  hours  were  expended 
showing  the  not  so  savvy  boys  the  secrets  of  work- 
ing probs.  A  large  part  of  his  spare  time  was  spent 
writing  letters  to  any  number  of  the  Texas 
"queens"  whose  pictures  adorned  his  locker 
doors.  As  one  of  the  youngest  members  of  our 
class,  Robbie  will  have  to  wait  a  year  after  gradu- 
ation before  he  is  old  enough  to  vote.

Clinton,  Mississippi 

Scottie  had  a  quiet,  easy-going  friendliness  that 
made  it  easy  for  him  to  settle  down  to  Academy 
routine  with  its  endless  string  of  bull  sessions  and 
tall  tales.  His  outlook  was  outwardly  an  "Oh, 
it'll  work  out  okay,"  but  his  associates  soon  found 
that  he  gave  plenty  of  serious  thought  and  plan- 
ning to  his  ideas  and  actions.  The  evenings 
usually  found  him  sitting  back  with  a  pipe  in  his 
mouth  shooting  the  breeze  or  writing  to  Jean.  By 
his  Confederate  flag  and  by  these  words  which  are 
so  characteristic  of  this  lazy  Rebel,  we  shall  re- 
member him,  "If  we'ah  gonna  walk  together, 
somebody's  got  to  slown  down." 


MlDDLETOWN,  DELAWARE 

A  year  at  Cornell  and  strenuous  civilian  life  was 
too  much  for  Jim,  so  he  packed  up  all  his  knowl- 
edge, aimable  personality,  and  athletic  ability  and 
headed  for  the  Severn.  Here  he  proved  his  might 
in  academics,  varsity  tennis,  and  last  but  far  from 
least,  women.  A  man  with  many  loves,  we  hope 
someday  he'll  settle  down  to  just  one  O.A.O. 
Carefree  but  quiet,  his  relentless  perseverance  and 
determination  carried  him  through  both  storm 
and  calm.  Jim's  good  humor  and  judgment  com- 
manded the  respect  from  all  who  knew  him. 


Steve 


New  York,  New  York 

Born  and  bred  on  the  sidewalks  of  New  York,  "Fasto"  fascinated  the  fair  sex  and 
entertained  us  with  his  Bronx  humor  and  spontaneous  wit.  "Fred  Allan''  with  pipe, 
blanket,  and  the  daily  communique  from  "La  Petite,"  was  always  willing  to  "spot 
'em  today."  Sailing,  the  commando  course,  and  being  varsity  coxswain  for  two  years 
made  Steve  a  hard  man  to  find  after  class.  His  broad  career  in  the  Fleet  made  "Hash- 
mark"  a  veritable  encyclopedia  for  plebes  and  an  after-taps  conversationalist  par 
excellence.  His  greatest  achievement  is  his  design  for  living — that  satisfied  feeling  of 
having  the  situation  well  under  control  and  still  be  enjoying  life  to  the  fullest.

Waft  may  best  be  classified  under  the  heading,  "The  Most  Unforgettable  Character 
We  Have  Ever  Met."  When  you  wanted  to  find  him,  your  best  bet  was  to  look  for  the 
nearest  crowd,  and  there  in  the  midst  of  them  would  be  "Waldo,"  entertaining  the 
fellows  with  his  unmatched  sense  of  humor  and  Brooklyn  wit.  There  was  never  a  dull 
minute  when  Walt  was  around,  and  his  natural  ability  to  make  friends  was  envied  by 
all.  There  was,  however,  a  more  serious  Walt.  His  great  yearn  for  reading  always 
stood  him  in  good  stead,  and  his  outstanding  sailing  ability  proved  to  be  a  great  asset 
to  Navy's  sailing  team  for  three  consecutive  years.

On  first  glimpsing  the  ""Colonel,*'  we  began  to  wonder  what  this  fugitive  from  an  old 
Southern  plantation  was  doing  masquerading  in  a  Naval  uniform.  But  Wax  fooled 
everyone.  In  spite  of  his  passion  for  briar  pipes,  mint  juleps,  sleep,  and  leisurely  life, 
he  has  conquered  the  system  the  legal  way.  making  numerous  friends  with  his  easy- 
going manner.  Concentration  being  his  strong  point,  he  indulged  frequently  in  bridge, 
Esquire,  and  amorous  novels.  Anything  w  ith  a  quiet  accent  was  always  to  Waxie's 
liking  and  fitted  in  naturally  w  ith  his  Southern  temperament.

"Oh,  oh,  lock  the  barn  doors,  pull  in  your  side- 
walks, friends,  here  comes  Ed."  This  was  the  sig- 
nal for  merriment  because  whenever  the  "Barrel" 
was  around,  anything  was  liable  to  happen — and 
usually  did.  Letter-writing,  liberty,  and  pranks 
received  most  of  his  attention.  He  always  knew 
the  right  people  and  the  right  places  needed  to 
insure  a  riotous  time  on  liberty.  Non-reg  was  his

A  zest  for  life  and  its  complexities,  a  love  of  sail- 
ing, and  faithfulness  to  the  girl  back  home  are 
what  his  classmates  noted  most  in  "Willie."  A 
true  son  of  the  Midwest,  Will  came  to  the  Navy 
from  Detroit  by  the  way  of  the  University  of 
Michigan.  He  is  an  excellent  swimmer  and  easily 
won  his  plebe  track  numerals.  One  characteristic 
particularly  marked  Will — no  matter  what  he  was 
doing,  sack  drill  or  studying,  he  put  all  he  had  into 
it.  His  greatest  vice  was  a  collection  of  Spike 
Jones  records  which  was  the  horror  of  his  class- 
mates. Put  these  attributes  together  and  you 
have  R.  Williamson,  who  accepted  the  "system" 
butwasnever  broken  by  it.

When  Henry  entered  the  Naval  Academy  his 
big  grin  and  acute  sense  of  humor  were  immedi- 
ately evident.  It  wasn't  until  early  youngster 
year  that  he  came  into  his  own.  Hank  had  a  pas- 
sion for  dragging  blind.  For  the  two  years  we 
helped  him  through  many  grueling  week-ends, 
bucking  him  up  when  necessary  with  reassurances 
of  personality  and  soul.  Henry  was  equally 
changeable  in  his  sports  life.  He  started  out  run- 
ning cross-country,  had  a  year's  sojourn  swimming 
back  stroke  on  half  a  dozen  different  teams,  and 
ended  up  with  a  lacrosse  stick  in  his  hands.  All 
the  luck  in  the  world,  Henry.

"Got  a  cigarette,  Dick?"  was  the  usual  greeting  for  this  man  universally  known  for 
his  friendliness  and  generosity.  His  greatest  hobby  was  knowing  more  people  and  more 
fresh  news  than  anyone  else,  and  we  remember  his  welcoming  each  new  man  who 
entered  our  battalion  plebe  summer.  Having  a  Navy  background,  he  has  lived  in  many 
East  Coast  ports.  His  education  has  been  a  typical,  though  varied  one,  and  he  is 
classified  as  a  "Bullis  boy."  Powerfully  built  for  his  weight,  he  has  the  experience  and 
speed  which  make  him  one  of  our  top  wrestlers;  and  his  coach  foresees  an  inter-

Ten  years  amidst  the  hub-bub  and  confusion  of  Washington,  D.C,  failed  to  oblit- 
erate Ed's  New  England  accent  or  succeed  in  solving  his  female  problem,  for  he  had 
more  trouble  with  the  gals  than  with  academics.  Ed's  energetic,  excitable  character 
fitted  in  admirably  with  academic  routine;  consequently,  neither  the  Academic  nor 
Executive  Departments  disturbed  him.  Military  life  enhanced  rather  than  quelled 
his  taste  for  pipes  and  Daiquiri's.  He  was  a  ready  participant  in  those  well-known  bull 
sessions,  but  he  never  let  them  interfere  with  the  work  on  hand.  A  fine  sense  of  values 
and  a  keen  interest  in  people  will  ever  be  his  aid  to  success.

Steam  Department,  and  was  usually  right,  too. 
Sam  will  make  a  valuable  addition  to  the  Fleet;

"Ham"  was  ever  an  excellent  conversationalist. 
This,  together  with  his  effervescent  personality 
and  good  looks  won  him  an  enviable  circle  of 
friends.  When  it  was  a  question  of  the  merit  of 
Wisconsin  or  the  worthlessness  of  Maryland,  his 
talkativeness  became  eloquence.  Next  to  sleep  he 
liked  winter  sports,  impossible  in  Maryland's  little 
snow.  Hardly  an  afternoon  passed,  though,  that 
he  couldn't  be  found  on  one  of  the  yawls.  "Ham" 
is  one  of  the  few  men  who  can  adapt  themselves

with  envy  to  stories  of  the  U.S.S.  Augusta  and  the  Atlantic  Fleet.  Whether  his  home 
is  Whiting  or  Cal'  City  is  still  problematical,  but  wherever  it  is,  the  beer  there  is  superb. 
Joe's  French  pronunciation  can  be  rated  with  the  best,  and  we  will  all  be  listening  for 
that  Frenchy  "certainement"  to  cheer  up  some  lonely  night  in  a  far  corner  of  the

Frank  had  no  serious  trouble  with  academics  because  he  was  a  constant  "plugger." 
He  liked  soccer  and  fencing,  and  had  an  exceptional  stamp  collection.  Also,  he  had 
many  cute  drags  to  his  credit,  and  was  always  ready  to  arrange  a  blind  date.  His  cour-

If  you  needed  a  man  to  encourage  the  band,  or

excess  pressure  valve  were  no  mystery  to  him ;  he 
got  this  stuff.  In  fact,  we  have  found  very  little

ences are  not  all  he  excelled  in,  and  the  plebes  will 
remember  him  for  his  questions  on  sailing,  his 
favorite  sport.  Others  will  remember  him  for  his 
generosity  and  friendliness,  which  is  exceeded  only 
by  his  affinity  for  C.I.S.  chits.  We  may  be  sure

courage  to  "put  out"  when  the  going  got  toughest 
brought  him  to  the  top  in  the  wrestling  loft  and 
boxing  ring.  Considerate  and  easy-going,  his  con- 
stant grin  and  love  of  good  chow  made  him  uni-

His  classmates  will  always  remember  his  cheerfulness  and  willingness  to  attempt  any-

escended  on  the  Naval  Academy  after  spending  a  year  and  a  ha'lf  at 

-liversity.    In  between  his  daily  extolling  of  the  virtues  of  the  Empire  State 

nic  pursuits,  he  found  time  to  be  an  active  track  man  and  also  devote  his 

e  LUCKY  Bag.  Log,  and  Trident.   Week-ends  always  meant  dragging,  and 

cnown  to  miss  a  hep  or  an  entertainment.   Jack  was  always  ready 

n  an  academic  discussion  to  an  impossible  job,  and  he  will  long  be 

notto  of  "take  it  easy"  w  hen  the  going  became  rough.

Paintsville,  Kentucky 

Carrying  dust  from  each  of  four  Eastern  Mid- 
west states,  Ed  came  to  Maryland  officially  from 
Kentucky.  The  Navy  will  need  to  offer  some 
strong  interests  to  chase  horses  and  blue  grass 
from  his  mind.  He  learned  to  snooze  at  Morehead 
College  and  never  let  Navy's  academics  interfere 
with  his  slumber.  His  skill  in  baseball  and  basket- 
ball won  him  sets  of  numerals  for  his  B-robe. 
Women?  You  couldn't  call  him  a  "Red  Mike," 
just  not  interested.  Affable  and  good  natured,  he 
made  many  friends  here  and  will  surely  find  many 
more  attracted  to  him  in  the  future.

Here  is  living  proof  that  big  noises  do  not  neces- 
sarily come  in  large  packages,  because  Jim  "sho" 
is  a  shawt  knockuh."  We'll  remember  his  singing 
while  cleaning  the  room,  shouting  in  the  mess  hall, 
and  drawling  in  his  sleep.  His  biggest  achievement 
youngster  year  was  a  full  development  of  the  art 
of  eating  meals  under  the  table.  He  had  nick- 
names a-plenty,  from  "Dixie"  and  "Rughead"  to 
various  unmentionables.  Three  years  of  engineer- 
ing school  and  an  inborn  ability  gave  Jim  plenty 
of  time  to  lend  a  hand  to  the  buckets  and  at  the 
same  time  act  as  company  representative.  He'll 
always  get  a  kick  out  of  living.  Yes,  suh !

Baldwin,  New  York 

"Some  got  it,  some  just  ain't."  "Jasbo"  has  it. 
Academics  were  not  slighted,  but  extra-curricular 
activities  were  his  love,  from  hard  work  on  stage 
productions  to  swimming,  soccer,  and  plenty  of 
dragging.  If  a  quantity  of  nicknames  is  the  mark 
of  a  good  fellow,  "Chet"  will  always  be  as  popular 
as  Santa  Claus.  A  leading  exponent  of  fancy  jit- 
ter-bugging, "Jazz"  conserved  his  energy  by  ju- 
diciously flaking  out  during  study  hours.  Some 
ship  will  be  livened  up  until  such  time  as  Jack  is 
called  back  to  the  Old  Country  to  lead  the  next 
Irish  Rebellion. 


Jack 


Long  Beach,  California 

Jack,  the  Californian  with  the  bristly  haircut,  will  never  be  forgotten  by  his  class- 
mates, and  many  are  the  fields  in  which  he  will  be  remembered.  For  three  years  he  was 
indispensable  to  the  Log,  Reef  Points,  the  Glee  Club,  Mandolin  Club,  and  Art  Club. 
For  his  first  two  years  the  varsity  fencing  team  knew  him  as  a  member — for  his  last  as 
captain.  Jack  was  a  likeable  Navy  Junior  with  a  royal  sense  of  humor  and  gift  for  car- 
tooning. For  his  qualities  as  a  friend  we  have  sincere  appreciation.  No  goodbyes, 
Jack — au  revcir.

Youngstown,  Ohio 

Willie  could  be  classified  as  the  happy,  carefree  type  with  occasional  moods  which 
plunge  him  into  deep  thought.  Very  conscientious  and  thorough,  he  works  hard  and 
plays  hard.  Studies  always  come  first,  and  it  is  hopeless  to  attempt  to  coax  him  from 
unfinished  assignments.  Plebe  and  battalion  track  have  absorbed  much  of  Bill's  spare 
time  here  at  the  Academy.  Girls  may  be  of  only  minor  importance,  but  he  is  ever 
ready  to  discuss  the  girl  of  his  dreams.  Friml  and  baritones  are  Bill's  favorites,  while 
modern  jive  has  no  place  in  his  record  collection.  His  pleasing  personality  and  re- 
sourcefulness will  take  him  to  the  top.

Charlotte,  Michigan 

For  pep,  fight,  and  grit,  no  one  could  top  Lynn. 
He  was  certain  to  follow  through  any  assignment 
with  such  drive  and  cheerfulness  as  to  win  a  place 
for  himself  in  the  hearts  of  all  his  classmates. 
Lynn's  accomplished  interests  were  boxing,  track, 
and  dragging,  among  which  he  had  no  preference, 
being  equally  proficient  in  all  three.  His  ambi- 
tions include  Michigan,  submarines,  and  an 
O.A.O.  The /'Little  Man's"  big  smile,  loyalty, 
and  charm  give  him  a  head  start  in  realizing  a

New  Bedford,  Massachusetts 

Having  a  trace  of  stubborn  Puritan  blood, 
"Monk"  took  control  of  things  from  the  very 
beginning.  With  his  New  Englander's  love  of  the 
water,  the  swimming  team  and  the  yawls  came  to 
know  him  well.  His  membership  in  the  Chapel 
Choir  and  the  Musical  Clubs  evidenced  his  fond- 
ness for  music.  As  for  crossing  rivers,  "Monk" 
found  it  hardly  necessary  to  bone,  and  conse- 
quently kept  up  a  large  correspondence.  A  smooth 
dancer,  with  brown  eyes  and  brown  hair,  George 
had  no  trouble  keeping  his  dragging  week-ends 
filled.  Ever  active,  he  will  be  as  busy  in  the  Fleet 
as  he  was  at  the  Academy.

Get  the  "Mad  Russian"  to  say  "bottle"  or  "battleship"  and  he'll  give  away  his  home 
:he  Bronx  every  time.  Ed  came  to  us  after  a  brief  stay  at  N.Y.U.  and  a  hectic  plebe 
year  at  the  Citadel.  "Golly"  is  always  willing  to  argue  for  the  Army,  but  deep  inside 
.'ou'll  find  a  heart  that's  blue  and  gold.  Soccer,  Skinny,  and  O.A.O.  trouble  kept  him 
but  he  always  found  time  to  translate  everyone  else's  Russian  homework.  Ed's 
ability  to  lead  plus  his  size  i 3 \  2  shoes  and  his  six-feet-three  frame  make  him  stand  out 
above  the  rank  and  file  of  "Joe  Gishes."

Petesi  Paul  Qw44i^d(uu4Jzl 
Norwich,  Connecticut 

After  two  years  at  Worcester  Tech,  Pete  gave  up  New  England's  fishing  and  hunting 
to  find  new  joys  in  sailing  and  crew  at  the  Naval  Academy.  His  ceaseless  effort  soon 
brought  him  to  the  foreground  as  an  authority  on  sailing,  crew,  photography,  and 
If  the  English  explanation  to  a  problem  did  not  suffice,  Pete  could  explain 
equally  well  in  Russian  or  Polish.  A  glimpse  of  a  sailing  vessel  will  always  bring  to 
mind  a  picture  of  Pete  standing  firmly  behind  the  helm,  giving  orders  in  a  seamanlike 
manner,  consistently  crossing  the  finish  line  to  win  the  blue  ribbon.

Doc 


West  Hartford,  Connecticut 

"See  Jack  Hay  ward;  he'll  know"  was  the  advice 
given  many  a  perplexed  plebe.  Always  willing  to 
lend  a  helping  hand,  and  tireless  in  his  quest  for 
knowledge,  Jack  became  very  popular  with  the 
underclass  as  a  constant  source  of  professional 
information.  He  took  his  book  work  seriously  and 
worked  conscientiously  to  better  himself  as  an 
officer.  However,  all  work  and  no  play  never  made 
this  Jack  a  dull  boy.  He  took  an  active  part  in 
company  sports,  including  boxing,  sailing,  swim- 
ming, and  volleyball.  A  sunny  disposition,  care- 
free manner,  and  sense  of  humor  made  Doc  a 
friend  of  all.

Dimondale,  Michigan 

After  two  years  of  college  and  newspaper  work, 
George  found  the  academics  fruit,  and  so  concen- 
trated on  enjoying  life  here.  He  divided  his  hours 
among  "Mom"  Myers'  cakes,  horseback  riding, 
and  occasionally  dragging.  Most  of  his  afternoons 
were  spent  on  the  soccer  field — always  in  there 
trying.  Riding,  reading,  and  boasting  of  the  Sky 
Ranch,  "ranch  in  name  only,"  were  his  favorite 
hobbies;  and  friends  soon  learned  of  his  flair  for 
Gay  Ninety  recordings  and  a  sharp  tongue — both 
so-called  proof  of  Irish  ancestry.  Wherever  he 
goes,  George's  amiable  disposition  will  win  him 
many  friends. 

Cosmo 


Turners  Station,  Kentucky 

Kentucky's  gift  to  the  Excused  Squad,  "Hobbling"  Holleman  knew  more  concern- 
ing red  tape  and  its  evasion  than  any  other  member  of  the  four-year  plan.  While  bank- 
ing eight  balls,  wiring  signs,  or  keeping  the  "Cosmo"  sat,  his  paramount  interest  was 
the  broom-tails  and  how  they  ran.  The  slogan  "If  I  can't  get  it,  you  don't  want  it" 
reaped  rewards,  and  brains  for  brawn  scored  financially.  His  Ring  Dance  lighting — 
one  watt  per  acre — meant  much  to  us  that  night.  Witty  and  devil-may-care,  he  was 
our  Easter  symbol.  Keep  those  ears  twitching,  "Rabbit."

Atlanta,  Georgia 

Annapolis  first  heard  of  Rex  in  June  of  '42,  and  it  will  be  a  long  time  before  this 
affable  personality  from  the  deep  South  is  forgotten.  W'ith  two  years  at  Georgia  Tech 
to  his  credit,  Rex  experienced  no  difficulty  with  academics  save  for  a  slight  struggle 
with  that  eternal  nemesis,  Steam.  Crew  provided  his  chief  athletic  interest,  and  almost 
any  afternoon  for  two  years  he  could  be  seen  "coxing"  a  varsity  shell  over  the  Severn. 
The  diplomatic  service  is  his  great  desire,  and  certainly  there  can  be  no  better  addition 
to  that  field.  Rex's  future  is  assured,  for  his  ability  and  resourcefulness  are  beyond 
?ach.

Norwich,  New  York 

The  "Cosmo"  was  the  only  man  in  the  Regi- 
ment who  could  wear  blue  service  like  a  suit  of 
Harris  tweeds.  He  was  proficient  at  everything 
but  academics — a  super  salesman,  a  whiz  with  the 
women,  and  a  general  nuisance  at  all  the  hops. 
Whether  it  was  an  appointment  with  the  Super- 
intendent, a  house  for  June  Week  on  two  days' 
notice,  or  a  blind  drag,  he  always  managed  to  get 
what  he  wanted.  Though  his  tour  of  duty  at  the 
Academy  wasn't  affected  by  the  three-year  plan, 
he  still  didn't  learn  to  use  a  slipstick.  His  Ring 
Dance  plans,  "bottoms  up,"  and  big  deals  will  be 
remembered  on  the  Long  Cruise.

"Dee"  was  blue  and  gold  through  and  through. 
The  son  of  a  Naval  officer,  he  lived  in  many  for- 
eign countries  and  early  developed  a  love  for  the 
Navy  which  was  intensified  at  military  school.  At 
the  Academy  he  did  creditable  work  and  won  a 
prominent  position  in  the  Regiment.  "Desel"  won 
an  "N"  on  both  the  A.A.U.  champion  cross  coun- 
try team  and  the  record-breaking  IC4A  track 
squad.  On  week-ends  he  was  seldom  seen  stag- 
ging.  An  enthusiastic  airman,  he  spent  most  of 
his  summers  taking  flight  training.

Ladysmith.  Wisconsin 

^ame  to  Annapolis  from  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  and  has  managed  to  acquit 
himself  very  well  here.  Although  active  in  company  sports,  he  liked  best  that  individ- 
■  orkout  in  the  gym  on  cold  wintry  afternoons.  Unlike  his  fellow  YVisconsinites, 
he  preferred  to  listen  rather  than  talk,  but  was  definitely  not  modest  when  week-ends 
and  dragging  came.  Ed  is  looking  forward  to  service  in  the  Fleet  and  perhaps  work  in 
the  diplomatic  corps.  Whatever  he  does,  he  will  be  doing  his  level  best.

Since  Tom  left  Alabama  and  a  liberal  arts  course  for  Annapolis  and  an  engineering 

struggle,  he  has  been  one  step  behind — and  joking  about  it !  The  tauter  the  strain,  the 

surer  he  was  to  deliver  a  "bon  mot.'    Active  in  company  sports,  but  preferring  relaxa- 

he  read  extensively  and  enjoyed  the  reputation  of  a  "litterateur  par  excellence." 

lough  the  Steam  tree  was  quite  familiar  to  him,  he  never  dropped  his  cheerful  mien. 

n  common  sense  and  diplomacy,  and  would  like  foreign  service.     His 

proven  abilities  and  engaging  personal ity  assure  his  success  wherever  he  goes.

Beverly  Hills,  California 

"Jud"  entered  the  Academy  enthusiastically 
anticipating  a  career  in  submarines,  and  three 
years  here  have  served  only  to  strengthen  this 
ambition.  When  spring  rolled  around,  he  found 
himself  in  the  starting  lineup  of  the  plebe  baseball 
team,  where  his  infectious  enthusiasm  helped  to 
smooth  out  many  a  wrinkle.  Academics  were  of 
small  import  to  him  and  though  the  various  de- 
partments did  their  worst,  he  remained  unruffled. 
He  displayed  a  keen  interest  in  professional  sub- 
jects, and  delighted  in  uncovering  technical  dis- 
crepancies in  his  wife's  sea  stories.

WlLKINSBURG,  PENNSYLVANIA 

Straight  from  the  "Holy  City"  came  this 
lovable  but  none  too  holy  Dutchman.  Bull  ses- 
sions were  a  favorite  pastime,  and  "Leo"  easily 
downed  all  opposition.  Academics  were  fruit  for 
him,  and  study  hours  usually  found  him  flaked 
out.  Annual  duels  with  the  sub  squad  almost  got 
the  best  of  Lee,  but  he  still  managed  to  become  a 
mainstay  on  the  battalion  football  and  pushball 
teams.  Though  definitely  not  a  "Red  Mike," 
dragging  was  secondary  to  "Dutch."  His  quick 
wit  and  good  sense  will  carry  him  far  in  any  field.

No  one  who  knows  "Big  Jack"  Martin  will  ever 
have  trouble  recognizing  him.  Standing  over  six 
feet  three  inches  and  carrying  235  pounds  of 
brawn,  he  has  always  been  an  impressive  figure 
in  the  halls.  Jack  made  All-American  at  the  pivot 
position  on  Navy's  gridiron  machine,  and  would 
probably  have  gone  on  to  further  fame  if  he  had 
not  used  up  a  year  of  eligibility  at  Princeton. 
Amiable  and  easy-going,  he  has  breezed  through 
academics  with  amazingly  little  effort.  Wherever 
destiny  may  lead  him,  "Big  Jack,"  both  in  stature 
and  character,  will  always  command  respect. 


Cecil  Robesit  Jluhtffy 

Brooklyn,  New  York 

Here's  the  company's  number  one  exponent  of  the  conservation  of  energy.  Mind 
over  matter,  that's  his  motto,  and  he  made  it  pay  dividends.  Anything  outside  New 
York  he  considered  part  of  the  Dark  Continent,  and  Brooklyn  was  the  center  of  the 
known  world.  "Cece"  was  no  "Red  Mike,"  for  he  liked  women  in  general  and  par- 
ticular. His  knottiest  problem  was  how  to  keep  the  demerits  down  to  par.  He  spent 
his  afternoons  with  the  rifle  team  or  reading,  and  became  quite  a  literary  connoisseur. 
Quick  witted  and  good  at  proving  points,  he  was  at  his  best  when  in  the  midst  of  a  good 
bull  session. 


floUn  GgLmsi  MgSiaIi 

Fall  Brook,  California 

A  confirmed  Californian,  Jack  labored  through  the  long  days  at  the  Academy  with 
one  thought  uppermost  in  his  mind — to  return  again  to  the  land  of  eternal  sunshine. 
Jack  found  the  academics  to  be  fairly  rugged,  but  his  determination  to  see  it  through 
always  carried  him  over  the  obstacles.  As  for  sports,  tennis  was  his  favorite,  with  bowl- 
ing as  a  substitute  during  inclement  weather.  Jack  seldom  turned  down  an  offer  to 
play  bridge.  Here's  hoping  his  aspirations  are  fulfilled  and  he  gets  the  duty  on  the 
Pacific  that  he  wants.

Hailing  from  sunny  California.  Rick  entered  the  Academy  immediately  upon  grad- 
i  from  high  school.  Dragging  was  his  favorite  pastime,  and  he  spent  practically 
every  week-end  in  the  company  of  the  fairer  sex.  It'll  never  be  said  that  Rick  was  a 
bookworm;  yet  academically  he  was  a  star  man.  Sailing  came  next  on  his  list,  and  he 
earned  a  command  qualification.  He  also  found  time  to  take  pictures  for  the  Trident 
magazine.  He  was  always  a  serious  minded  fellow  with  a  keen  sense  of  humor.  As  a 
friend,  Rick  was  tops,  and  will  always  be  remembered  as  a  savoir,  a  sailor,  and  a  swell 
fellow.

"Penny"  came  to  us  with  a  rolling  gait,  and  was  ever  willing  to  tell  us  tales  of  his 

two  years  on  the  L'.S.S.  "Sapelo."   He  boasted  a  girl  in  every  port,  a  string  of  broken 

Greenland  to  the  Canal.  Plebe  year  he  was  a  mainstay  on  the  baseball  and 

s-country  teams,  and  the  last  two  years  were  spent  in  "rassling"  and  poling  out 

n  the  Softball  field.   He  will  be  remembered  by  us  for  his  quick  smile  and 

salty  bearing.   Woe  betide  any  lubberly  action  in  his  presence,  for  he  is  quick  to  note 

the  error.

Only  a  few  days  after  becoming  a  midshipman, 
Lew  was  presented  with  two  lines,  a  megaphone, 
and  the  command  of  a  shell.  In  the  middle  of 
plebe  year,  however,  he  relinquished  his  Hubbard 
Hall  command  in  favor  of  the  Academy  yachts. 
From  that  day  thoughts  of  his  college  days  were 
lost  in  the  wake  of  a  sailboat.  He  was  indeed  for- 
tunate to  have  those  three  years  of  Aeronautical 
Engineering  at  North  Carolina  State,  for  he  never 
seemed  to  get  very  interested  in  academics.  Per- 
haps Lew  will  best  be  remembered  for  his  excellent 
piloting  of  a  landing  craft.

Huron,  South  Dakota 

Here  is  our  "pistol  packin'  papa"  from  the  land 
of  Wild  Bill  Hickock.  His  greatest  regret  is  that 
it's  non-reg  to  pack  a  six-gun  in  the  five-mile 
limit.  Mixing  seriousness  with  a  love  of  fun  in  the 
right  proportions,  Don  comes  up  with  a  winning 
conbination.  Women  are  a  snare  and  a  delusion, 
but  how  he  did  love  to  be  ensnared  and  deluded. 
Deprived  of  the  saddle  he  was  born  in,  Don  put 
his  energies  into  a  hot  game  of  soccer,  while  his 
more  thoughtful  moments  were  spent  with  the 
Trident.  His  company  mates  look  forward  to 
trouble  for  the  Japs  when  "Two-gun"  Don  hits 
the  Fleet.

Here  was  a  man  with  many  loves  of  which  only 
one  was  a  woman.  If  we  wanted  art,  Beethoven, 
or  philosophy,  we  went  to  Bill — he  was  the  critic. 
A  shaggy  head  of  blond  hair  and  a  pleasing  easy- 
going nature  combined  with  an  astounding  ability 
for  making  puns  drew  this  Navy  Junior  to  the 
hearts  of  us  all.  The  Lucky  Bag,  varsity  pistol 
team,  Log,  Trident,  and  Glee  Club  were  but  a  few 
of  his  many  pastimes.  Jackie,  a  commission,  and 
a  full  and  successful  career  await  him  this  June. 
We'll  be  looking  for  you  in  the  Fleet,  Bill.

Fresh  from  the  Greek  and  Latin  of  the  Jesuits  came  Bernie,  only  to  find  the  wiles 
of  Russian  awaiting  him  here  at  the  Academy.  An  all  around  athlete,  he  specialized 
in  developing  a  wicked  left  in  the  ring  and  extra  speed  in  the  440  on  Navy's  track  team. 
Academics  came  easily  to  him  and  allowed  him  ample  time  to  practice  his  flair  for 
speaking  in  intercollegiate  debating.  With  a  perfect  knack  of  not  only  thinking  his 
own  way  out  of  difficult  situations  but  also  helping  others,  he  will  surely  have  a  host 
of  friends  and  success  in  times  to  come.

"That  loud  noise  down  the  corridor?  Oh,  that's

His  favorite  diversion  being  dragging,  there  were

mes  listed  in  his  little  black  book.  His  myriad  in- 
terests varied  from  plenty  of  sleep  to  sailing  the 
Severn. 


Chelsea,  Massachusetts 

The  first  breezes  of  plebe  summer  brought  this  blond  viking  from  the  North  to  the 
Academy  and  it  was  none  too  early  for  Larry  to  start  rowing  on  the  Severn.  Although 
crew  was  his  favorite,  the  rigorous  training  of  the  varsity  boat  couldn't  hold  back  his 
natural  ability  in  wrestling,  tennis,  and  golf.  To  everything  he  faced  he  brought  the 
same  unbeatable  determination  which  conquered  academics,  brought  him  outstanding 
recognition  in  Quarterdeck,  and  the  presidency  of  the  Newman  Club.  Wherever  he 
goes  that  big  Irish  smile  and  love  of  life  will  bring  him  the  same  loyal  friends  he  found

Hailing  from  the  "Windy  City"  of  the  Midwest.  "Wes"  entered  the  Naval  Academy 

fresh  water  sailing  behind  him.  With  this  qualification  he  quite  naturally 

turned  to  week-end  sailing  on  the  Highland  Light.    Afternoons  during  the  winter,  he 

could  be  found  in  the  pistol  gallery,  "holding  em  and  squeezing  em."  "Schmidty"  could 

usually  be  counted  on  for  change  for  a  phone  call,  a  clean  pair  of  white  gloves,  or  any 

ittle  gadget  you  had  failed  to  purchase  out  in  town.  He  was  one  of  the  original  Boiler-

On  arriving  here,  the  "Stacker"  informed  us 
that  he  had  just  chosen  between  becoming  the 
biggest  name  in  plumbing  in  the  Midwest  or  the 
biggest  thing  that  ever  hit  the  Navy.  He  alter- 
nately had  us  believing  that  he  was  a  Golden 
Gloves  champion,  a  dead  ringer  for  Bing  Crosby, 
and  the  heaviest  drinker  in  Superior.  It  took  us 
about  a  week  to  realize  the  fallacies  in  some  of  his 
tales,  and  then  Bill's  attempts  to  save  face  were 
fruitless.  However,  Bill  had  more  friends  here 
than  he  knew  what  to  do  with,  a  fitting  tribute  to 
his  good  nature  and  generosity.

Fulfilling  a  lifelong  ambition,  Jack  entered  the 
Academy  by  the  nautical  route  via  the  Fleet. 
There  is  hardly  a  man  whom  "Navy"  has  met 
who  does  not  know  about  his  former  home,  the 
U.S.S.  Tennessee.  One  of  his  amazing  feats  was 
having  the  same  O.A.O.  during  his  entire  stay  at 
the  Academy.  This  salty  son  of  the  seas  has  the 
ability  to  learn  quickly  and  make  lasting  friends, 
which  will  be  very  useful  and  valuable  when  he 
goes  back  into  the  Fleet.  Whatever  his  job  may 
be,  it  will  be  well  done.

WlLKINSBURG,  PENNSYLVANIA 

Although  active  in  athletics,  Bill's  big  worry  was  the  sub  squad.  After  swimming 
tests  were  passed,  the  year  was  fruit.  Bill  spent  most  of  his  spare  time  at  various  sports, 
but  letter  writting  and  relaxation  were  also  favorites.  He  starred  on  the  battalion  foot- 
ball team  during  the  fall  and  on  the  softball  team  in  the  spring.  Academics  were  never 
hard  for  Bill,  but  he  didn't  like  to  punch  formulas  and  spent  many  hours  finding  the 
why  and  wherefore  of  a  baffling  equation.  Quiet  and  unassuming  in  his  manner,  Bill 
was  a  valued  friend  of  all  his  shipmates.

Baseball,  soccer,  football,  swimming — sports  were  Lee's  main  interests,  and  he 
played  them  well  enough  to  earn  a  year-round  seat  on  the  training  table.  Having  few 
academic  worries,  he  managed  to  breeze  through  his  textbooks  with  relatively  little 
trouble.  Always  ready  to  expound  on  the  beauties  of  the  New  England  countryside 
and  the  merits  of  the  University  of  Connecticut,  Lee  inevitably  would  become  a  good 
listener  when  someone  wanted  to  discuss  women.  And  one  had  only  to  glance  at  his 
drag  on  any  hop  week-ends  to  realize  that  he  always  "got  the  word !"

Don't  make  the  mistake  of  calling  "Aussie"  a 
Brooklynite  or  you're  more  than  likely  to  find 
yourself  the  object  of  vociferous  comebacks. 
"S.  H."  has  gained  that  rare  distinction  of  dis- 
seminator par  excellence  of  false  rumor.  The 
casual  listener  is  prone  to  believe  him,  but  look 
carefully  and  you  will  detect  a  humorous  twink- 
ling in  his  eyes.  There  is,  however,  a  serious  side 
to  "Aussie"  as  evidenced  by  his  keen  fondness  for 
poetry  and  athletics.  He  prides  himself  in  being 
a  better-than-average  handball,  soccer,  and  tennis 
player.

He  became  famous  for  his  original  words  as  mate  of  the  deck,  and  his  fatherly  com-

A  staunch  New  Englander,  and  a  sailing  enthusi-

Jim,  a  lanky  Cleveland  import,  devoted  his 
academic  career  to  complete  relaxation.  Any  kind 
of  music,  time  to  smoke  a  pipe,  and  an  easy  Juice 
lesson;  these  made  a  perfect  day  for  "Baumholtz." 
He  was  noted  for  sparkling  after-dinner  speeches, 
and  a  free-for-all  bout  with  Russian.  When  he 
felt  the  urge  to  leave  an  afternoon  of  Cugat  and 
Calloway  for  a  little  exercise,  he  could  whistle  a 
serve  by  your  ear  or  run  your  legs  off  at  a  game  of 
handball  or  squash.  We  soon  grew  used  to  his 
calabash  pipe  and  his  poems  of  praise  for  the  archi- 
tecture of  Frank  Lloyd  Wright.

From  the  plains  of  Illinois  came  jolly,  friendly, 
happy-go-lucky  Bob.  Little  did  we  realize  that 
behind  his  pleasing  personality  lurked  a  passion- 
ate hate  for  Steam  books  and  slipsticks.  Not  long 
after  the  beginning  of  academic  year,  we  were 
quite  surprised  to  find  this  jocund  lad  tearing 
page  after  page  from  the  notable  work  Naval 
Machinery.  In  contrast  to  his  hate  for  Steam,  Bob 
possessed  an  ardent  love  for  athletics  as  well  as 
the  fairer  sex.  With  the  day's  routine  ended,  you 
could  find  him  in  the  gym  bouncing  a  basketball, 
while  week-ends  he  reserved  for  the  more  enjoy- 
able sport  of  dragging. 


Manchester,  New  Hampshire 

This  congenial  Greek  decided  to  join  Uncle  Sam's  spoiled  and  pampered  pets  while 
spending  the  summer  months  in  Crabtown.  Bill  had  the  most  uncanny  knack  of  taking 
the  wrong  side  of  an  argument,  but  he  never  admitted  defeat.  His  yen  for  joking, 
whether  pitching  or  catching,  made  him  a  favorite  with  everyone.  Ladies  play  a  rather 
important  part  in  his  existence,  but  he  never  specializes.  Dividing  his  time  between 
academics  and  fun,  "Dake"  has  had  a  pleasantly  diversified  Academy  life. 


Kokomo,  Indiana 


"Izzat  your  nose  or  are  you  eatin'  a  banana?"  No  insult  intended,  just  a  typical  Del

every  occasion.  From  Indiana,  and  proud  of  it,  Tony  was  at  various  times  an  iceman, 
a  grave  digger,  and  a  guard  for  the  Irish  at  South  Bend.  At  the  Academy,  Tony's  first 
love  was  football.  The  rest  of  his  affection  was  divided  among  a  hundred  girls  and  a  few 
books.  A  born  system-beater,  Tony  can  handle  any  situation — I  can  hear  him  now.

By  these  words  ye  shall  know  him:  "Math  is

help,  and  he  asked  "Wils."  But  academics  were 
only  his  sideline.  Boosting  that  Minnesota  foot- 
ball team  was  important;  so  important,  in  fact, 
that  it  almost  overshadowed  his  social  triumphs. 
However,  after  one  year  at  the  Academy,  "Wils" 
admitted  himself  that  he  felt  unnatural  without 
a  girl  by  his  side.  Yet  somehow,  amid  all  this  ac- 
tivity, he  found  time  to  be  a  buddy  to  all  of  us —

I  lie  down  until  the  feeling  passes."  As  a  result,

chess  boards.  His  second  love,  which  breaks 
through  now  and  then,  is  adding  to  his  already

ever, before  he  was  renamed  "Radar."  Nobody  ever  knew  why!  Radar  made  up 
in  ability  and  spirit  what  he  lacked  in  size.  One  could  always  find  him  entertaining  the 
Regiment  at  the  Friday  night  pep  rallies  with  his  usual  role  of  fun  and  humor.  His 
favorite  pastime  was  making  life  miserable  for  his  classmates.  Always  in  for  a  good 
time,  no  N.A.  regulation  ever  daunted  this  midshipman;  he  liked  extra  duty,  and  he 
was  always  in  there  scrapping  whether  it  was  athletics  or  the  classroom.

Kankakee,  Illinois 

Well,  if  it  isn't  ole  Ed  Kennedy  himself;  lantern  jaw,  Irish  grin,  and  above  all,  those 
great  big  beautiful  ears !  This  stalwart  son  of  a  shamrock  was  transplanted  to  the  banks 
of  the  Severn  from  the  little  Irish  settlement  of  Kankakee,  Illinois.  At  the  Academy 
he  took  an  active  part  in  everything,  spent  a  lot  of  time  with  a  pretty  little  brown-eyed 
belle,  and  still  managed  plenty  of  sack  drills.  The  Naval  Academy  avalanche  of  aca- 
demics and  other  forms  of  torture  showed  us  that  "Edgar"  is  a  guy  who  can  cope  with 
the  "system"  and  anything  else  the  Navy  can  hand  him.

That  wasn't  a  bull  moose  we  heard  bellowing 
about  the  plebe  wing  those  days  back  in  the  sum- 
mer of  '42 ;  it  was  big  Dick  Knight,  the  pride  of 
old  New  Orleans.  "W.  T."  showed  himself  to  be 
a  leader  even  then,  and  has  maintained  his  repu- 
tation since.  When  Dick  came  to  Annapolis  he 
broke  up  a  long  line  of  West  Pointers  and  started 
a  friendly  family  rivalry.  Chow  hound  supreme, 
he  managed  to  tear  himself  from  his  sagging  sack 
to  bedeck  his  B-robe  with  a  colorful  array  of 
numerals  for  plebe  and  Batt  sports.  Although 
genial  Dick  was  the  butt  of  many  friendly  jibes.

Long  before  Hollywood  put  Tom  Brown  in  Brancroft  Hall,  "Adash"  had  decided  it 

iould  be  his  home  for  a  while     And  it  was  pure  determination  that  got  him  here. 

1.  though,  things  were  different.   He  derived  pleasure  from  everything,  whether 

it  w  as  dragging  his  battered  body  back  from  a  lacrosse  game,  or  keeping  the  gridiron 

for  the  I  'ress  Detail.   As  sports'  editor  for  the  Lucky  Bag  he  has  done  a  tre- 

b  well.  Although  not  at  all  averse  to  dragging,  he  hardly  found  time  for  it, 

^referring  to  remain  true  to  at  least  three  lassies  back  home.  Whether  it's  the  Marines 

or  the  submarines,  we're  w  ishins  him  luck.

Philosophy,  newspaper  comics,  music  and  of  course  a  woman.   Not  a  very  coherent

Not  an  individual  to  be  overly  disturbed  by  academics,  "Solly",  or  as  he  is  better 

known  to  the  Nc*.  York  operators.  "Mr.  Sullivan,  please,"  has  found  ample  time  to 

four  main  interests,  including  the  charming  girl  friend  at  N.Y.U.    De- 

pite  such  pleasant  distractions,  Saul  has  still  managed  to  worry  his  handball  and

Buffalo,  New  York 

An  ardent  exponent  of  the  "when  in  doubt, 
sack  out"  theory,  Dick  spent  most  of  his  time 
proving  it.  Although  his  horizontal  drills  didn't 
make  him  grow  out  of  the  sandblower  classifica- 
tion, they  gave  him  plenty  of  energy  for  correcting 
the  pronunciation  of  his  name  or  challenging  the 
veracity  and  sanity  of  the  Academic  Departments. 
Small  and  quick  on  the  trigger,  Dick  excelled  at 
handball,  Softball,  or  anything  that  required  fast 
action.  Drags  interested  him  little,  although  he 
was  far  from  being  a  "Red  Mike."  On  the  ball 
and  always  congenial,  Dick  was  a  classmate  to  be 
valued  and  remembered.

Covington,  Kentucky 

Anybody  who  has  ever  been  to  Chapel  on  Sun- 
day morning  knows  Jack  Loper.  He  loved  to  sing, 
and  we  loved  his  singing.  "Lope"  wasn't  a  star  in 
athletics  or  studies,  but  he  was  a  good  athlete,  a 
good  student  and  a  good  friend.  He  played  hard 
and  studied  hard  throughout  his  three  years  here. 
His  heart  was  in  everything  he  did,  just  as  it  was 
in  every  word  he  sang.  Next  to  vocalizing,  Jack's 
main  interest  was  in  eating,  as  any  of  his  class- 
mates will  testify. 


Jack 


Brooklyn,  New  York 

For  the  few  weeks  of  plebe  year,  "Babyduck"  amazed  the  upperclasses  by  giving 
out  with  all  the  right  answers  before  they  even  finished  asking  their  questions.  Light 
dawned  when  they  discovered  he  had  come  from  the  good  old  "Arky."  However, 
plebedom  never  seemed  to  end  for  Jack,  for  he  received  more  running  during  upper- 
class  years,  but  he  always  managed  to  hand  it  back  with  interest.  Managing  crew  took 
up  most  of  Jack's  spare  time,  but  all  of  his  work  paid  dividends  when  he  was  elected 
varsity  crew  manager.  His  greatest  ambition  is  to  be  skipper  of  a  Navy  salvage  tug, 
and  we  hope  he  makes  it.

Leo 


McCook,  Nebraska 

"Leo"  has  lived  up  to  his  nickname;  his  classmates  will  remember  him  as  the  man 
ready  to  plunge  into  any  argument,  particularly  one  on  baseball,  music,  or  the  merits 
of  the  Midwest.  "Leo"  has  been  a  mainstay  in  the  N.A.  10,  the  orchestra,  and  an 
active  sailor  during  his  years  at  the  "Ensign  Factory."  Also  among  his  extra-curriculars 
has  been  dragging,  in  which  he  plays  the  field  with  great  success.  We  hope  to  be  seeing 
more  of  this  stocky  Lyon,  and  you  can  be  sure  of  hearing  more  of  him  when  he  gets  to 
the  sub  service. 


Ski 


Hamtramck,  Michigan 

"Ski"  gave  us  to  understand  that  Detroit  is  just 
one  of  the  larger  suburbs  of  Hamtramck.  That's 
where  he  stowed  his  pretty  Russian  O.A.O.  while 
he  studied  her  language  at  the  Academy.  Ed  was 
a  man  of  tremendous  enthusiasms — the  one  for 
track  leading  him  from  his  successes  at  Wayne 
University  to  those  he  gained  here.  The  energy 
required  for  this  and  his  hobby  of  photography, 
as  well  as  constant  success  at  academics,  was  never 
enough  to  dampen  his  buoyant  good  nature.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  the  "Fighting  Seventh's"  paragon 
of  friendliness  will  always  be  the  Hamtramck  lad 
with  the  marcel  wave.

Cochran.  Georgia 

"Mac"  spent  most  of  his  time  on  his  bunk  with  the  sports  page,  where  the  Yankees 
and  Georgian  Spud  Chandler  were  his  heroes.  Academics  were  a  necessary  evil  and  he 
bore  their  weight  with  good-natured  reluctance  With  his  quiet  Southern  mannerisms 
came  a  great  love  for  basketball,  and  he  was  ready  for  a  game  no  matter  what  the  hour, 
that  is  when  it  didn't  interfere  with  sleeping  time.  North  Georgia  Military  College 
sent  him  to  .Annapolis  as  an  R.O.T.C  captain  with  a  saber  from  his  honor  company. 
Always  a  good  soldier  and  a  staunch  rebel,  he  was  a  great  companion  and  a  loving  wife. 


Clarksburg,  West  Virginia 

'Say  Art.  will  you  do  this  integration  for  me?"  This  was  the  usual  green  signal  for 
Art  to  show  how  really  simple  mathematics  could  be.  The  call  of  the  sea  robbed  West 
Virginia  of  one  of  its  most  promising  mining  engineers,  for  before  entering  the  Academy, 
Art  had  spent  three  years  at  West  Virginia  University  learning  the  intricacies  of  coal 
mining.  Boxing,  lacrosse,  and  an  occasional  dragging  session  were  Art's  main  extra- 
curricular activities.  He  was  also  very  fond  of  that  favorite  midshipman's  pastime, 
horizontal  engineering. 


Otuin  {/owe*,  McKeand 

Nashville,  Tennessee 

"I'll  argue  on  any  side  of  any  question."  This 
quotation  fully  describes  "Mac,"  the  man  who 
never  admitted  defeat  in  an  argument.  Although 
he  pounded  the  books  with  zest  during  his  sojourn 
at  the  Academy,  "Mac"  considered  this  place 
merely  a  resting  place  between  the  wine,  women, 
and  song  of  successive  leaves.  Prepped  with  a 
wealth  of  non-reg  ways  and  a  knowledge  of  air- 
craft, he  seems  headed  for  the  Naval  Air  Corps. 
As  a  hot-tempered  rebel,  he  had  no  equal,  but  he 
was  always  ready  to  play  his  part  in  the  classroom 
or  on  the  athletic  field.

Buzz 


#4&HcU  &v&ie£t  PeaMan,  III 

Bangor,  Maine 

"Buzz,"  ordinarily  an  amiable,  easy-going  chap, 
developed  two  pet  phobias  at  the  Academy.  The 
slightest  mention  of  our  hard  working  laundry 
would  bring  a  heart-rending,  tear-jerking  tirade 
of  his  three  years'  struggle  to  keep  a  shirt  on  his 
back  and  socks  covering  his  bony  ankles;  while  a 
swimming  drill  would  call  forth  all  the  blasphemy 
one  can  learn  in  a  frontier  town  like  Bangor. 
Academics  gave  him  a  rough  row  to  hoe,  but  his 
receding  hairline  bothered  him  much  more  than 
Steam  or  Juice.  "Buzz"  was  a  true  friend  and  his 
level  headed  advice  kept  more  than  one  of  us  on 
the  right  track.

Most  of  us  were  old  salts  when  this  modest  son 
of  Missouri  rolled  into  Annapolis,  destined  to 
make  his  pleasant  grin  and  sense  of  humor  some- 
thing to  be  envied  by  all.  Obviously  from  the 
"show-me"  state,  "Dusty"  could  oft  be  heard  to 
mutter  "somebody  show  me  how  to  get  this 
Steam."  Definitely  not  a  bucket,  "Dusty"  proved 
to  be  a  diligent  worker  in  both  athletics  and  aca- 
demics. A  year-round  mainstay  of  company  ath- 
letics, Harry  did  much  to  foster  a  fine  feeling  of 
friendliness  and  comradeship  that  will  always  be 
remembered  by  his  classmates.

Tall,  dark,  and  handsome — the  strong  silent  type — a  perfect  description  of  Walt 
Riggs.  A  farmer  boy  from  Ohio,  Walt  had  two  favorite  diversions.  The  first  was  bat- 
talion track  (all  Yankees  are  good  runners,  his  Rebel  wife  used  to  say) ;  the  second  was 
singing  in  the  shower.  In  spite  of  an  almost  fatal  attraction  for  ladies,  W  alt  did  not 
let  dragging  go  to  his  head,  often  preferring  the  harmless  joys  of  an  afternoon  hike. 
Genial  and  pleasant,  Walt  is  always  ready  for  a  good  time  and  makes  a  fine  companion.

Alfred,  Xew  York 

"The  Sage  of  the  Fighting  Fourth"  inevitably  became  Ted's  title,  for  no  man  has 
ever  spent  the  three  years  in  such  concentrated  seriousness.  His  gravity  was  elastic, 
because  it  seemed  to  adapt  itself  to  any  activity  in  which  he  found  himself.  He  con- 
sistently confounded  the  Academic  Departments;  after  due  deliberation  he  made 
varsity  sailing  his  sport;  and  to  climax  everything  he  gravely  fell  in  love  youngster 
year.  But  Ted's  friendly  good  nature  amply  compensated  for  his  sober  side.  Since  a 
man  makes  his  own  luck,  he  is  sure  to  be  blessed  bv  the  best  of  good  fortune.

Annapolis,  Maryland 

Living  in  Annapolis  as  he  did,  "Skiff"  didn't 
have  much  traveling  to  do  when  he  came  to  the 
Naval  Academy.  Also  he  had  that  rare  privilege 
of  being  able  to  see  his  folks  every  week-end.  Dur- 
ing his  stay  here,  "Skiff"  was  continuously  at  odds 
with  the  Steam  Department.  Despite  his  struggles 
with  books  and  profs,  he  always  wore  a  friendly 
grin.  His  perpetual  good  humor  and  ready  wit 
made  him  a  favorite  with  everybody.  His  favorite 
hobbies  were  squirrel  hunting  with  his  Beagle  on 
week-ends  and  playing  first  trumpet.  The  music

Andover  prepared  him.  Yale  lost  him.  and  Navy  was  the  all-around  winner.  "Sex" 
came  to  the  Academy  w  ith  a  goodly  amount  of  salt  already  in  his  system,  having 
sailed  ever  since  he  was  able  to  walk.  Of  course,  his  sailing  technique  was  not  the  only 
one  he'd  developed  to  a  smooth  perfection.  \  [any  are  the  drags  who  will  avow  that  he 
leaves  nothing  to  be  desired.  His  happy  combination  of  quiet  reserve,  wry  humor,  and 
open  frankness,  mixed  with  an  earnest  desire  to  see  a  job  well  done,  make  it  fairly  evi- 
dent that  he'll  make  a  name  for  himself.   In  fact,  it's  what  vou  might  call  "in  the  bag

"Mole,"  "Simp,"  or  just  plain  Bill — he  answered  to  any  of  these 
names.  He  didn't  always  wait  to  be  called,  especially  if  he  could  be  of  help  to  his  class- 
mates anytime  or  anywhere.   1 1  is  difficult  to  find  another  man  so  conscientious,  so  will- 
best  whether  it  be  on  the  soccer  field,  wrestling  mat.  or  in  the  classroom. 
Tiese  characteristics  combined  with  a  ready  smile  made  him  ever  popular  with  his 
.   However.  Bill  had  his  problems.   Foremost  among  these  was  the  question  of 
whether  or  not  he  could  get  to  Texas  during  leave  and  the  ever-present  problem  of  the 
quickest  way  to  get  the  Navy  wings.

Pratt,  Kansas 

Few  men  can  be  adequately  described  in  one 
word,  but  Dick  is  one  of  the  few.  He  was  an 
outstanding  classmate.  Prominent  among  his 
extra-curricular  activities  was  his  work  on  our 
Class  Ring  Committee.  Scotty's  favorite  sport 
was  swimming,  whether  in  a  dash,  a  relay,  or  a 
water  polo  game.  He  was  also  as  much  at  home  in 
a  good  argument  as  in  a  swimming  pool,  and  was 
one  of  the  Midwest's  most  staunch  defenders. 
His  friendliness  and  genial  spirit  made  "Railway," 
or  "R.  Y.,"  a  popular  classmate  and  a  good  friend. 
His  outstanding  abilities  as  a  leader  have  made  a

Missourian  to  the  core,  you  have  to  show 
Parker.  Nobody,  so  far,  has  convinced  him  that 
being  ratey,  especially  as  a  plebe,  pays  off,  and 
although  they  said  he  was  too  small  for  distance 
running,  ask  the  men  on  the  cross-country  squad 
who  saw  nothing  but  his  back  for  three  years. 
"Smitty"  still  managed  to  find  time  for  the  choir 
and  plenty  of  dragging.  The  combination  of  his 
curly  forelock  and  ready  smile  made  him  a  favorite 
with  the  "Belles  of  Baltimore."  With  him,  neat- 
ness and  organization  are  habits;  habits  that  have 
earned  him  a  reputation  of  always  doing  a  job  the 
right  way. 


Hastings,  Minnesota 

The  University  of  Minnesota  lost  a  somewhat 
spasmodic  athlete  when  "Smitty"  decided  to 
make  Annapolis  his  home.  Always  out  for  some 
sport,  he  spent  his  afternoons  capering  about  the 
greensward  in  pursuit  of  physical  fitness.  Study 
hours  were  divided  between  letters  to  Margie, 
psychoanalysis  of  Steam  profs,  and  two-step  solu- 
tions to  Juice  probs  that  Hemholtz  himself  would 
have  trouble  explaining.  An  ardent  champion  of 
the  Midwest,  this  blue-eyed  blond  never  quite 
convinced  his  two  New  England  wives  that 
Indians  did  not  run  wild  in  his  homeland. 


K.  T. 


Moline,  Illinois 

Quiet,  but  not  shy,  "K.  T."  entered  the  Naval  Academy  after  several  years  at 
Augustana  College  and  in  the  Fleet.  Karl's  quietness,  as  many  soon  realized,  covered 
an  independence  not  always  sanctioned  by  the  Reg.  Book.  The  Open  Door's  hospitality 
and  many  friends  out  in  town  made  Annapolis  his  second  home.  He  had  amazing  luck 
at  blind  dragging,  but  always  considered  women  unessential,  or  so  he  said.  A  sincere 
and  determined  man,  "K.  T."  grew  in  stature  by  being  consistently  himself.  Karl 
believes  in  the  Navy.  May  it  take  as  good  care  of  him  as  he  will  of  it.

It  was  the  China  Station  or  the  Naval  Academy  for  Bob,  who,  as  fate  willed,  chose 
the  Naval  Academy  for  better  or  for  worse.  A  sailor  from  way  back,  "Swanny"  wasn't 
to  be  deterred  by  Academy  complexities.  Applying  his  pet  philosophy  of  combining 
the  maximum  of  bridge,  reading,  and  sleeping  with  the  minimum  of  studying,  he  ob- 
tained phenomenal  results.  Perhaps  we  better  remember  him  as  that  salty  Gunga 
Din  of  the  basketball  squad,  a  good  shipmate,  and  a  swell  fellow.

Nashville,  Tennessee 

"When  did  you  shave  last,  mister?''  Al  was  the 
guy  with  the  perpetual  "five  o'clock  shadow." 
Running  through  a  galaxy  of  nicknames  ranging 
from  "Eight  Ball"  and  "Little  Thomaso"  to 
"Bluebeard,"  Al  went  merrily  on  his  way  with  a 
smile  on  his  face  and  a  wisecrack  on  his  lips.  An 
ardent  son  of  the  Old  South  and  a  true  Rebel,  Al 
fought  the  "war"  with  all  comers.  The  words, 
"God  bless  Robert  E.  Lee,"  fell  from  his  lips  more 
than  once.  Al's  athletic  ability  was  best  demon- 
strated by  the  deftness  with  which  he  sidestepped 
all  advances  of  the  Academic  Board. 


Mamaroneck,  New  York 

The  sailing  team  received  a  Larchmont  Trophy 
winner  when  Bill  came  to  the  Academy  hoping  to 
draw  a  preference  number  high  enough  to  give 
him  something  a  bit  larger  than  a  dinghy  in  which 
to  sail  the  seas.  Women  took  up  most  of  his  week- 
ends ;  phone  calls  most  of  his  evenings.  Academics 
came  hard  to  him  only  when  extended  stays  at  the 
hospital  were  necessary.  Russian  fascinated  him 
even  though  it  was  quite  a  struggle,  but  he  made 
sure  that  he  knew  all  the  essentials  for  striking  up 
a  conversation  with  a  Russian  countess.  As  long 
as  there  are  ships  and  boats,  Bill  will  be  sailing.

telling  of  the  beauty  of  his  home  state  and  refight- 
ing  the  Civil  War.  In  his  bouts  with  academics, 
he  came  out  on  top.  Johnny  has  picked  subs  as 
his  future  home — it  is  doubtful  whether  it  was  the

By  hitting  the  books  on  the  week-ends  that  he  was 
not  dragging  or  wishing  that  he  were  dragging,  he 
managed  to  stay  a  half  step  ahead  of  the  Academic 
Departments.  Feeling  certain  that  Big  Rapids 
was  the  only  town  on  the  map,  he  spent  many  bull 
sessions  trying  to  convince  everyone  else  of  this 
fact.  Gordon  was  never  a  member  of  the  radiator 
squad,  and  tried  his  hand  at  many  of  the  company 
and  battalion  sports.  A  friend  of  all,  he  can  be  sure 
of  having  a  wealth  of  close  shipmates. 


Zip 


Stanley  filpA&n, 

Canton,  Ohio 

"Hup!  Hup !  Hey,  "Zip,"  you're  out  of  phase  again."  It  wasn't  Stan's  fault  that  he 
bounced  when  he  marched;  his  legs  were  just  livelier  than  those  of  his  classmates. 
"Zip"  wasn't  out  of  phase  in  anything  else,  though.  His  worries  weren't  concerned 
with  academics  in  the  least;  he  was  usually  wondering  how  he  was  going  to  take  care 
of  the  three  or  four  drags  he  invariably  invited  down  on  week-ends.  In  some  manner, 
"Zip"  solved  all  such  trying  problems  and  still  found  time  to  haunt  the  golf  course, 
help  edit  the  Lucky  Bag,  and  sail.

ItfUtiian  £te.nli+ta  ALenstatluf, 


Washington,  D.C. 

"Just  another  class,"  Abbie  would  say  as  the  bell  called  him  to  formation.  His 
interest  was  aviation,  so  attending  class  was  nothing  but  a  necessary  evil.  A  man  of 
few  words,  Ab  devoted  many  study  hours  to  his  National  Geographic  and  Reader's 
Digest,  but  an  occasional  glance  at  the  Steam  book  supplied  him  with  the  "necessary 
gravy"  to  fool  the  profs  who  looked  askance  at  his  efforts.  Ab  enjoyed  fencing  more 
than  any  other  sport,  but  an  occasional  pre-reveille  jog  around  the  track  was,  as  he 
put  it,  "good  exercise  and  plenty  refreshing." 


Andy 

Bcumuei  Qlen,  A«Ae>ti.r  jl. 

Arcadia,  Louisiana 

"Andy,"  hailing  from  Louisiana  Tech,  is  as 
hearty  as  they  come.  He  toured  the  Scientific 
courses  with  comparative  ease  but  met  a  veritable 
Nemesis  in  the  Dago  Department.  A  hoofer 
from  way  back,  Andy  has  a  unique  way  with  the 
women.  He  was  always  at  the  hop  on  Saturday 
nights  full  of  life  and  rarin'  to  go.  Andy  plugged 
for  the  Regiment  as  much  as  he  talked  for  "HP." 
and  Louisiana.  Outstanding  features:  an  honest 
face  and  a  sincerity  of  purpose.  He  seldom  be- 
came serious  but  when  he  did,  he  went  all  the  way. 
We're  sure  that  Andy's  heartiness  will  prevail  in 
whatever  predicament  he  may  find  himself.

Joe  came  to  the  Academy  with  a  taste  of  Navy  life  as  a  radioman  aboard  the  "New

well  occupied  v.  ith  such  sports  as  soft  ball  or  tennis,  and  despite  a  Red  Mike  start  during

long  be  remembered  by  his  classmates  and  friends  for  his  quiet  but  friendly  atti- 
tude and  for  his  earnest  ability  to  stick  to  the  job  until  it  is  completed.

Grand  Forks,  North  Dakota 

Maybe  North  Dakota  would  do  it  to  anybody,  but  it's  not  likely.  Clint  was  more 
inclined  to  make  his  environment  meet  his  standards  than  the  other  way  around.  A 
friendliness  that  had  made  him  president  of  his  class  in  college  earned  him  a  wide 
riends  at  the  Academy.  His  academic  score,  his  Lucky  Bag  work,  his  sailing,

to  everything  he  undertook.  Bras  belittled  his  accomplishments,  but  letting  the  record 
talk,  it's, " "Well  done,  Clint."

HODGENVTLLE,  KENTUCKY 

Entering  the  Academy  from  the  University  of 
Kentucky,  Adgie's  life  here  has  been  anything  but 
dull.  Excellent  in  academics  and  even  better  in 
basketball  and  lacrosse,  "A.  G."  has  been  dubbed 
Hodgenville's  greatest  gift  to  its  country  since 
Abe  Lincoln.  For  two  years  he  flashed  around  the 
court  as  varsity  guard  on  Navy's  basketball 
team;  and  as  close-attack  man  on  the  lacrosse 
squad,  he  showed  the  Indians  a  lot  they 
didn't  know  about  their  own  game.  The  Regiment 
and  the  Physical  Training  Department  will  miss 
"A.  G."  but  their  loss  will  be  the  Fleet's  gain.

Evanston,  Illinois 

Coming  from  the  sunny  beaches  and  sinful 
night  clubs  of  Chicago's  North  Shore,  Mai  re- 
mained essentially  a  college  boy  at  heart.  De- 
spite his  small  stature,  he  exhibits  plenty  of  fight 
in  Junior  Varsity  football  and  lacrosse.  He  plans 
to  retire  at  twenty-seven  and  live  in  a  Chicago 
penthouse  on  a  modest  fortune  of  a  few  million 
dollars  acquired  by  any  method  except  working. 
Mai's  occasional  serious  moments  reveal  a  char- 
acter that  will,  in  between  rest  hours  and  meals, 
make  him  an  asset  to  the  service  and  a  friend  to 
his  shipmates.

Savannah,  Georgia 

Uncle  Joe  is  a  self-made  man.  All  his  unso- 
phisticated, colorful  previous  life  he'd  been  work- 
ing toward  the  Academy — and  he's  been  resting 
from  his  labors  ever  since  the  day  he  was  sworn  in. 
He's  a  paper-work  expert,  and  knows  just  exactly 
how  to  express  himself — twin  abilities  that  are 
going  to  place  him  in  good  stead.  He  also  knows 
the  art  of  relaxing  and  of  Dutch  dragging.  He  has 
his  loves — mail,  leaves  in  Georgia,  fireplaces,  a 
white  collie,  and  his  youthful,  inspiring  parents. 
It'll  be  an  extremely  unkind  fate  that  gives  him 
anything  besides  the  idyllic  sort  of  life  he  seeks.

"Taint  no  swamps  in  Florida,"  guarantees  the  former  Ramblin'  Wreck  from  the  Land 
of  Sunshine  and  Ocean  Breezes.  Tom  had  to  give  up  his  fishing  trips  here,  and  spent 
most  of  his  time  at  the  Boat  House.  He  was  a  contender  for  a  seat  in  a  shell  until  he 
found  he  could  be  a  manager  by  eating  vitamin  pills.  Because  studying  was  not  his 
forte,  T.  C.  gave  his  sack  a  thorough  workout  while  he  recounted  tales  of  C.  I .  S.  chits.

and  the  Luck  of  the  Irish.  One  of  the  fortunate  few  who  is  able  to  do  almost  anything 
with  remarkable  ease,  Ed's  only  Nemesis  was  swimming.  His  beginning  in  the  aca- 
demic field  was  unimpressive;  however,  when  the  chips  were  collected,  he  was  a  high 
man.  Ed  is  a  stable  fellow  but  still  he  would  be  much  happier  if  we  had  anti-dragging

Hardie 


Kingston,  Pennsylvania 

After  winning  several  sailing  trophies,  Hardie 
decided  to  become  a  "middy."  Old  Lehigh  and 
Bullis  were  his  stepping  stones  to  success.  Aca- 
demically he  usually  starred  on  reexams,  but  his 
congenial  spirit  and  likeable  personality  placed 
his  dragging  in  the  category  of  superior  quality. 
In  sports  he  favored  water  polo  and  sailing,  with 
company  volleyball  on  the  side.  During  happy 
hours,  Hardie  could  be  found  either  on  his  sack 
or  in  the  midst  of  a  political  bull  session.  Without 
a  doubt,  his  friendly  manner,  perseverance,  and 
conscientiousness  will  be  great  assets  in  obtaining 
his  ultimate  goal.

For  an  interesting  half  hour,  all  one  had  to  do

of  his  favorite  tales.  He  had  a  store  of  good  ones 
too,  for  he  came  to  the  Academy  from  the  Fleet 
where  he  had  spent  an  interesting  three  years  of 
his  life.  During  plebe  year  "Dud"  surprised  him- 
self by  discovering  that  he  could  run.  From  then 
on  he  was  varsity  cross-country  material  and  a 
capable  track  man.  In  his  likes  and  dislikes  he  was 
emphatic  and  certain,  and  once  he  had  formed  an 
opinion  he  was  just  another  bull-headed  Irishman.

vinced that  it  can  be  done,  so  he  is  true  to  his

his  activities  in  crew  and  football,  J.  P.  goes  in 
for  "prof  baiting,"  giving  profs  a  mental  workout 
while  providing  his  classmates  with  a  laugh.  He 
met  his  match  only  once — a  "j.  g."  in  the  Bull

a  big  safety  factor  inside  the  first  tenth  of  the  class.  After  a  detour  by  way  of  the  can- 
teen, Cy  was  off  to  one  of  the  company  sports.  He  managed  to  carry  a  few  stripes  but 
that  doesn't  entirely  explain  why  his  week-end  plans  always  turned  out  so  well.  It 
may  be  that  his  eternal  cheerfulness  and  friendliness  along  with  a  crazy,  irrepressible 
sense  of  humor  were  factors  in  the  Kansan's  social  success.

Bay  City,  Michigan 

The  Bay  City  blond  first  impressed  us  with  a  will  of  his  own  and  a  distinctive  atti- 
tude of  unconcern.  Very  soon  though,  Fred's  two  years  at  college,  and,  more  impor- 
tant, his  innate  academic  ability,  proved  him  to  be  a  real  scholar.  With  a  love  of  things 
mathematical  and  a  readiness  to  help,  he  soon  found  himself  a  Mecca  for  all  who  had 
difficulty.  We  will  all  remember  Fred  for  his  perennial  searches  for  a  swimming  com- 
panion, for  his  obvious  self-satisfaction  over  his  own  professed  lack  of  ambition,  and 
a  friend  to  everyone.

Don't  start  talking  about  home  states  when 
"Honest  Jim"  is  present,  because  he's  sure  to  give

necessarily  the  same  one  every  month.  Although 
perpetually  worried  about  his  academics,  he  could 
do  a  pretty  good  job  without  too  much  work. 
Whether  in  baseball  or  basketball,  Jim  was  always 
belittling  his  athletic  efforts.  He  was  a  stickler 
for  physical  fitness,  and  always  keeping  himself 
in  the  pink  of  condition.

sailing  for  the  week-end  even  though  it  meant  forfeiting  a  date  with  a  glamorous  drag. 
We  have  spent  many  enjoyable  afternoons  on  the  Chesapeake  with  Bob.  Always  a 
willing  participant  in  company  sports,  his  ever-present  effort  to  do  things  right  will 
nake  him  a  fine  officer.  We  will  remember  Bob  for  the  many  nicknames  he  accumu-

and  held  down  an  important  attack  position  during  youngster  and  first-class  year. 
Not  one  to  black  out  other  activities,  "Cracker"  was  a  staunch  advocate  of  soccer  and 
sailing  trips  whenever  he  could  find  time  between  his  Log  stories.  Academics  gave  Bill 
very  little  trouble,  so  he  had  plenty  of  time  to  think  about  gay  athletic  trips  and  drag-

studies  and  association  with  those  who  had  expe- 
rience learned  the  Navy  and  increased  his  desire 
to  be  a  Naval  officer.  Though  not  a  varsity  man 
he  participated  in  most  of  the  company  and  bat- 
talion sports  with  great  prowess  and  zeal.  To 
many  Tom  was  known  as  a  constant  getter  of 
scuttlebutt  and  kept  his  friends  well  informed  as 
to  the  latest  dope.  As  a  good  sailor  he  was  well 
occupied  on  week-ends,  and  hardly  ever  missed

raised  a  smoke  pall  that  would  hang  over  the  city 
for  weeks.  Never  a  savoir,  "Stoop's"  academic 
thrashings  were  a  continual  source  of  amusement, 
although  occasionally  his  unorthodox  methods 
produced  the  right  answers.  When  the  going  gets 
tough,  Charlie  is  a  good  man  to  have  around 
because  he  never  gives  up.

have  taken  this  pugilistic  Irishman  from  the  banks  of  the  Saint  Lawrence.  Bob  never 
failed  to  take  an  interest  in  what  went  on  about  him  and  what  happened  to  others, 
especially  the  gentler  sex.  A  notorious  sleeper,  a  diligent  reader,  spasmodic  but  unre-

of  laziness  and  energy,  and  fortunately  he  knows  when  to  turn  to  with  his  all-out  side.

himself  an  authority  on  any  and  all  things  pertain-

life  as  it  is  in  the  outside  world.  During  three 
years  in  Bancroft,  Bob  sung  in  the  Glee  Club,  was 
cutest  chorus  boy,  played  varsity  lacrosse,  and 
spent  several  months  over  on  Hospital  Point

to  the  bigger  and  better  things  of  life.

and  the  Academic  Department  was  never  one  sided,  but  from  the  start  it  was  apparent 
that  he  would  emerge  the  victor.  Always  one  to  provide  a  cheerful  note  when  the  rou-

ciated in  the  future  as  much  as  they  have  been  by  his  many  friends  at  the  Academy. 
Ace's  ability  and  determination  insure  the  fulfillment  of  his  ambition  to  wear  the  Navy

Seattle,  Washington 

"Klop"  was  never  one  to  take  a  back  seat  in 
anything.  His  career  before  and  after  entering  the 
Academy  exemplified  his  ability  to  be  in  the 
middle  of  things.  Even  with  profs  he  had  the  repu- 
tation of  being  the  "jolly  good  fellow."  Week-ends 
with  his  "Queens"  were  the  things  that  Klop 
really  lived  for,  and  sailing  and  track  took  up  his 
leisure  time  when  he  wasn't  violently  engaged  in 
some  bull  session.  He  made  the  most  of  his 
chances  here,  a  trait  which  will  never  cease  help- 
ing him  in  the  unsettled  future.

Leesburg,  Florida 

Up  from  the  Land  of  Eternal  Sunshine,  Black 
Jack  came  to  our  "Country  Club"  after  three 
years  of  military  life.  Discipline  was  old  stuff,  and 
experience  plus  personality  soon  made  Jack  a 
leader  in  '46.  Not  a  varsity  man — except  in  the 
gentle  art  of  Star  boat  racing — he  nevertheless 
participated  in  various  intramural  sports.  Jack 
was  at  his  best  as  Sailing  Master  of  the  Academy's 
largest  yacht,  the  "Freedom."  Wearing  his  oldest 
dungarees,  taking  a  trick  at  the  wheel,  keeping 
his  ship  all-a-taunt-o,  and  sailing  smoothly,  Black 
Jack  lived  the  life  he  loved.

Collins,  Mississippi 

"Chuck"  to  his  acquaintances,  Collette  to  his  girl,  and  "Swamp  Fox"  to  his  friends, 
"C.  C."  came  to  the  Academy  via  the  U.S.S.  "West  Virginia."  A  real  sailor,  he  com- 
manded the  "Crocodile"  on  many  of  her  forays  and  put  in  sailing  time  on  the  yawls. 
In  his  own  words  he  "took  no  strain"  but  nevertheless  he  did  all  right  both  academi- 
cally and  with  his  drags.  A  Rebel  and  proud  of  it,  the  Swamp  Fox  speaks  without  an 
accent.  His  chief  vice  is  taking  large  numbers  of  poor  photographs  and  claiming  they 
are  good !

Tampa,  Florida 

Hailing  from  the  peninsular  state,  "K.  I."  was  an  ardent  fan  of  fishing,  sailing,  and 
sunshine.  He  managed  to  combine  all  three  of  these  while  spending  week-ends  sailing 
on  the  "Freedom,"  one  of  the  Academy's  class  "A"  yachts.  According  to  him,  everyone 
knows  that  Florida's  oranges  are  the  largest,  and  our  hardest  job  was  stemming  his 
flow  of  Chamber  of  Commerce  propaganda.  Whenever  the  weather  was  bad,  "K.  I." 
could  be  found  in  a  card  game,  or  enjoying  some  of  that  greatly  appreciated  bunk  time.

Out  of  the  deep,  dark  hills  of  Western  Montana, 
after  fifteen  months  in  the  Fleet  (although  he 
never  saw  the  deck  of  a  ship  until  his  first  Y.P. 
drill),  came  "Gook."  He  brought  with  him  an  in- 
exhaustible supply  of  tall  tales  about  "fur-bearing 
fish,"  "side-hill  murks"  and  the  like.  Whenever 
you  heard  a  loud,  robust  laugh,  you  knew  that 
"Gook"  was  around.  Sack  drills,  dragging,  beat- 
ing the  system,  and  the  commando  course  were 
perhaps  his  favorite  pastimes  with  an  occasional 
game  of  cribbage  thrown  in.

coming  to  the  Academy.  In  his  own  words,  "I  couldn't  let  those  'cut-throats'  get 
.  ."  The  departmental  professors  recognized  his  ability  with  a,  "Go  see  Mr. 
Parry,  he  knows  more  about  this  course  than  I  do."  Branch  Agricultural  College  of 
Cedar  City  had  done  its  work  well.  An  ardent  follower  of  everything  concerning  avia- 
tion, he  was  a  potential  flying  hero  when  he  received  his  appointment  to  the  Naval 
Academy.  There  is  still  that  burning  desire  for  flying  that  only  time  can  fulfill.  We 
hope  it  does.

doming  down  from  the  North  country  where  "snow "  meant  three  or  four  feet  ol  it, 
Pete  was  never  quite  able  to  enjoy  this  Maryland  weather.  Some  twenty  months  in

n  with  his  five-card  bridge.  He  didn't  have  much  trouble  with  the  Academic 
Department,  but  was  unable  to  get  the  Executive  Department  to  agree  with  him  on

Navy's  soccer  and  basketball  teams  received 
most  of  "Mac's"  attention.  He  played  on  the 
plebe,  junior  varsity  and  varsity  soccer  teams  and 
on  the  plebe  basketball  team.  Far  from  being  a 
Red  Mike,  Mac  dragged  to  all  the  hops,  usually 
a  different  girl  to  each.  The  Academic  Depart- 
ment cost  Mac  some  worry  during  plebe  year  but 
he  successfully  crossed  every  river  with  the  rest 
of  us.  Mac's  encounters  with  the  Executive  De- 
partment were  fewer  than  average,  due  to  two 
years  of  previous  experience  at  Clemson  College.

Mountain  View,  Oklahoma 

After  two  years  on  the  campus  of  Oklahoma 
University,  Frank  decided  he  would  like  to  see  a 
bit  of  the  world.  This  hard-working  lad  entered 
the  Naval  Academy  to  fulfill  an  ambition.  He 
brought  along  the  natural  trait  of  all  Westerners — 
that  of  being  a  good  conversationalist.  In  all  bull 
sessions  Frank  was  there  holding  his  own  against 
the  boys.  Academics  didn't  come  easily  to  him, 
but  concentrated  effort  and  the  ability  to  apply 
himself  to  the  task  at  hand  placed  him  in  good 
stead.  His  sack,  company  athletics,  and  reading 
were  Frank's  main  sources  of  relaxation  and 
enjoyment.

Bob  came  to  the  Naval  Academy  with  some 
definite  ideas  pertaining  to  academics,  extra-cur- 
ricular activities,  and  women.  Nor  did  he  fail  in 
any  of  these  ambitions.  Being  a  modern  Demos- 
thenes, he  excelled  in  debate  and  all  forms  of  pub- 
lic speaking.  His  afternoons  were  spent  in  the 
wrestling  loft  or  on  the  handball  courts.  His  typi- 
cal week-end  included  dragging  a  sweet  young 
thing  from  Washington.  Bob  hopes  to  get  sub- 
marine duty  upon  graduation.  However,  no  mat- 
ter what  service  he  enters,  his  smoothly  rounded 
character  will  insure  immediate  success.

One  of  the  few  Texans  not  a  member  of  its 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  Bruce  is  living  proof  that 
Texas  does  produce  good  men.  After  spending  one 
year  at  the  University  of  Texas,  Sully  was  able  to 
take  academics  in  stride — even  occasional  on- 
slaughts from  the  Bull  Department  failed  to 
dampen  his  spirits.  Although  participating  in  a 
number  of  company  and  battalion  sports,  he  still 
found  plenty  of  time  for  sack  drill.  If  ambition, 
loyalty,  and  a  strict  sense  of  duty  count  in  this 
Navy,  then  Bruce  will  be  an  officer  equal  to  the 
best.

Lockport,  Illinois 

Leaving  the  indifferent  civilian  days  in  Lockport  and  the  "accent"  at  Harvard,  Jim 
quickly  adjusted  himself  to  the  ways  and  means  of  the  Navy.  When  not  running  cross- 
country, this  auburn-haired  Illinois  native  was  usually  indulging  in  his  favorite  recre- 
ation, sailing.  Jim  particularly  enjoyed  the  social  life  and  rarely  missed  a  hop  or  a 
show.  A  certain  letter,  a  White  Sox  victory,  and  a  little  chow  made  any  day  bright  for 
him.  If  Jim  makes  good  his  ambition,  the  future  will  see  him  skippering  his  own 
carrier.

If  you  happen  to  be  looking  for  Frank  and  he  isn't  out  on  the  cinder  path,  probably 
it's  a  week-end  and  he's  out  dragging  with  Klop.  But  if  there's  a  room  down  the  hall 
where  you  hear  lots  of  laughing  and  shouting — try  there — you'll  probably  find  him. 
Frank  and  fun  always  go  together.  When  the  academics  got  tough  or  extra  duty  be- 
came plentiful,  Frank's  smile  and  sly  Kentucky  humor  were  ever  ready  to  give  a  lift 
to  those  of  us  who  allowed  our  worries  to  get  on  top.

An  Army  brat  gone  Navy,  "Gabby"  started  out  for  West  Point,  and  ended  up  in  the 
Academy.  Strangely  enough,  he  liked  it.  He  gained  valuable  infantry  experience  by 
toting  a  rifle  in  Lncle  Sam's  Army  for  a  year.  His  quiet,  unassuming  manner  limits  the 
iber  of  his  comments,  but  his  level  head  and  analytical  mind  make  all  his  contri- 
butions worth  consideration.  He  made  lacrosse  and  wrestling  serve  as  the  main  out- 
for  his  restless  energy  and  passion  for  exercise.  A  Red  Mike  only  because  of  the 
remote  location  of  his  O.A.O.,  "Gabby"  spent  most  of  his  leisure  time  in  athletics  and 
good  books.

A  large  part  of  his  time  at  the  Academy  was  spent 
athletically  reclining  at  the  hospital  recovering 
from  various  injuries  received  while  indulging  in 
sports.  Academics  were  always  first  with  him 
although  he  was  not  a  savoir.  One  of  the  best 
liked  men  in  the  company,  he  was  afraid  of  neither 
work  nor  responsibility.  Inclined  slightly  to  be  a 
Red  Mike,  he  could,  on  occasion,  be  one  of  the 
better  wolves.  He  was  a  swell  classmate  and  will 
be  the  type  of  officer  we  like  to  have  as  a  shipmate.

A  sand-blower  de  luxe,  never  without  a  cute  drag 
every  week-end,  letters  came  first  and  academics 
second.  Extra-duty  was  something  he  seldom 
knew,  for  he  always  had  one  eye  on  the  Executive 
Department,  and  besides  he  didn't  like  to  march. 
A  savoir  in  Spanish,  and  one  of  the  best  dancers 
in  the  Regiment,  Bill  proved  to  be  an  amiable

best  be  used  in  sports  or  on  the  regimental  radi-

journey  to  the  "promised  land,"  bringing  with  him  an  imperturbable  nature,  an  ample  ^ 
supply  of  food,  and  his  one  great  phobia — a  fear  of  lack  of  sleep.   These  three  things 
best  characterize  his  sojourn  at  the  Academy.    He  did,  however,  manage  to  arouse 
himself  during  the  year  to  play  a  bang-up  game  of  soccer.   But  to  "The  Boys"  he  will 
always  be  a  "liberty  hound"  and  local  chow  provender.

Coming  to  the  Academy  straight  from  the  Citadel,  Bill  has  yet  to  be  convinced  that 
the  North  won  the  War.  A  decided  extrovert,  "W.  P."  was  one  of  the  few  individuals 
destined  to  lead  by  example  rather  than  by  virtue  of  authority.  Bill  loved  his  liberty 
and  was  always  the  first  ashore  and  the  last  to  return.  Blessed  with  an  easy-going 
Southern  nature  and  a  deep  love  for  sleep,  Bill  will  be  remembered  best  as  the  perfect 
Southern  gentleman  sitting  in  the  shade  and  sipping  a  few  for  old  time's  sake.

It  didn't  take  long  for  "Ace"  to  establish  a  repu- 
tation for  himself  as  a  big  time  operator.  Although 
he  continually  peddles  a  pathetic  tale  of  woe,  his 
classmates  soon  learned  to  take  his  words  with  a 
grain  of  salt.  This  precaution  applied  to  his  self- 
claimed  aversion  to  athletics,  since  his  three  years 
of  football  spoke  for  itself.  Always  ready  to  pull 
a  "quicky,"  he  could  always  arouse  himself  to  do 
a  bit  of  hustling  when  the  occasion  arose.  Known 
by  his  friends  as  a  very  jubilant  classmate,  he  has 
made  himself  an  institution  in  his  company.

year  he  stepped  out  to  hold  his  own.  Gym  took 
the  greater  part  of  his  time  and  he  did  a  mighty 
good  job  as  a  tumbler.  His  other  main  activity 
was  cheerleading,  and  he  did  such  a  fine  job  that 
he  was  elected  captain  of  the  "Rah  Rah"  boys  his

\ue-and-gold  lad  w  ith  a  ready  grin  and

to  keep  seven  airplane  notebooks  up  to  date,  read 
one  hundred  and  fifty  books  a  year,  and  still  find 
time  for  two  movies  a  week-end.  Travel  abroad,

Dick  arrived  here  from  Newton  after  having  two  years  at  Boston  College.  His 
ridicule  of  his  roommate's  New  York  dialect  stopped  abruptly  when  the  gang  dis- 
covered his  Bostonian  accent.  During  his  free  time,  he  could  usually  be  seen,  racquet 
in  hand,  going  either  to  the  squash  or  tennis  courts.  Those  who  have  lived  close  enough 
to  hear  the  rumpus  will  remember  his  slide  rule  duels  and  study  hour  wrestling  matches 
with  his  wife.  In  spite  of  his  lean  appearance,  others  of  us  will  remember  him  as  a  high 
ranking  member  of  the  ancient  and  honorable  order  of  chow  hounds. 


Sioux  City,  Iowa 


Despite  an  inherently  honest  nature,  "Rick"  is  a  deceiving  character,  for,  although^ 
aspiring  to  a  Naval  career,  his  thoughts  are  wrapped  up  in  a  midwest  ditch  digging 
concern  and  we  suspect  he  joined  the  Navy  to  get  some  professional  tips  from  the 
Seabees.  Albeit  hailing  from  the  Corn  Belt,  he  is  a  salty  dinghy  sailor  and  is  right  up 
with  the  cognoscenti  academically.  R.  A.  possesses  the  enviable  trait  of  being  able  to 
take  it  on  the  chin  (which  is  frequently  the  case  when  he  drags  blind  despite  his  hollow 
claim  of  being  a  misogynist)  and  comes  back  game  as  ever.

"Frenchy"  is  a  sharp  lad  from  the  Delta,  always 
talking  about  Mississippi,  quick  to  say,  "Go  back

good  looks,  a  quick  smile,  and  a  sparkling  per- 
sonality, he  is  an  ideal  target  for  the  girls.  Known 
from  Annapolis  to  Clarksdale,  and  from  Boston 
to  Norfolk,  he  will  have  to  go  some  to  make  the 
future  live  up  to  his  past.  Serious  only  when  he

Three  years  at  the  University  of  Michigan  con- 
vinced Norm  that  he  knew  enough  \  lath  to  figure 
out  any  prob  that  might  arise,  but  he  couldn't 
understand  why  this  didn't  help  him  in  Bull 
themes  and  Dago.  However,  study  hours  were 
happy  hours  for  him,  except  when  his  classmates 
enlisted  his  always-available  aid.  Norm's  affinity 
for  handball  and  soccer  kept  him  busy  during  the 
afternoons.  We  hope  that  three  years  at  the 
Academy  have  altered  Norm's  previous  regret 
at  not  having  finished  his  Chemical  Engineering 
course  at  U.M.

From  the  boardwalk  to  Bancroft  is  the  true  story  of  "Hoot  "  He  had  quite  a  time 
passing  his  physical  entrance  exams  because  of  his  height,  but  he  assures  us  that  they 
let  him  in  because  he  was  from  Jersey.  Sailing  and  various  inter-company  sports  took 
up  most  of  his  afternoons,  and  his  evenings  were  spent  in  trying  to  make  his  wife  obtain 
his  own  assignment  sheets.  "Hoot"  acquired  an  early  reputation  as  a  social  slasher, 
but  we'll  always  remember  him  for  his  famous  last  words,  "And  I  want  you  to  know 
that  I'm  not  the  shortest  man  in  the  Regiment,  either."

tended any  prep  school  or  college,  Freds  two

or  with  a  desire  to  hear  about  the  Navy  in  action.

of  California's  N.R.O.T.C.  unit  as  his  passport  to  the  Academy.  His  new  classmates

groups  of  them  in  thirst  of  the  knowledge  he  could  give  them.  "Up,"  as  his  Leola 
friends  knew  him,  placed  academics  secondary  to  correspondence.  The  best  descrip- 
tion of  his  attitude  would  be  his  favorite  phrase;  "Men,  this  is  Letter  writing  night."

had  considerable  success  with  both.  Always  ready  to  expound  on  the  glories  of  his

To  "Lover,"  academics  meant  only  those  neces- 
sary but  nauseating  sessions  that  had  to  be  waded 
through  to  the  week's  end  when  he  could  get  a 
drag  by  his  side.  Just  to  prove  that  academics 
were  fruit,  "Lover"  took  an  odd  delight  in  whiling 
away  study  hours  doing  correspondence  work  in 
advanced  mathematics  from  his  previous  Alma 
Mater — University  of  Kentucky.  Next  to  drag- 
ging, his  strongest  passion  was  for  argument  about 
everything,  anywhere,  anytime.  If  "J.  G."  doesn't 
decline  the  rank  in  favor  of  a  Kentucky  colonelcy, 
he  should  make  a  swell  admiral.

a  typical  trait  of  yelling  just  before  formation, 
"Hey,  Mate,  what's  the  uniform?"  Taking  an 
interest  in  radios,  he  has  designed  his  own,  and 
has  great  pride  in  his  knowledge  of  what's  wrong

to  learn  how  to  sail,  but  when  the  opportunity  presented  itself,  a  bridge  foursome,  a 
bull  session,  or  a  basketball  game  ruined  his  good  intentions.  Although  "Gus"  was  not

tough  course  at  N.A.P.C.,  he  came  to  the  Acad- 
emy well  qualified  as  a  potential  Naval  officer. 
Known  as  not  being  overly  energetic,  he  was  pos- 
sessed with  an  easily  awakened  interest  in  the 
unique,  which  has  earned  him  a  just  reputation 
for  originality.  This  was  manifested  by  his  hobby

to  make  photography  his  sideline.  Having  been  in  the  Naval  R.O.T.C  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Texas,  he  came  to  the  Academy  with  a  little  salt  spray  already  in  his  blood. 
The  Naval  Air  Corps  is  his  goal  now,  and  since  he  usually  gets  what  he  goes  after, 
we'll  probably  see  him  in  a  F-7-F  before  long.

uncommon  for  entertainers  to  stop  the  show  so  he  could  get  his  pictures.  Those  who 
lived  near  enough  will  remember  his  daily  pleadings  with  the  mate  for  mail.  He  likes

stroke,  and  never  slowed  down  after  that.  Youngster  year  was  just  a  continuation,  and  ^ 
as  first-classman  he  topped  this  "pool-churning"  career  by  being  elected  captain  of  the 
swimming  team.  A  firm  believer  of  no  permanent  entangling  alliances,  he  was  always 
ready  for  a  blind  date,  despite  a  few  unlucky  experiences.  An  ardent  enthusiasm  and 
a  capacity  for  diligent  labor,  whether  at  studies,  swimming,  or  dragging,  will  always 
be  an  asset  to  him.

Before  he  got  the  word,  Johnny  was  headed  for  West  Point,  but  unfortunately  for 
the  U.S.  Army,  he  chose  the  Navy.  Tall,  good-looking,  and  straight  as  the  proverbial 
ramrod,  Cleveland's  sacrifice  to  the  Naval  Academy  has  won  friends  everywhere  he 
is  known;  for  if  it  be  a  scuffle  or  a  seance,  John  is  a  lad  who  can  be  relied  upon  to  keep 
things  going.  Like  the  rest  of  us,  Johnny  has  had  brushes  with  the  Academic  Depart- 
ment, but  an  unfailing  sense  of  humor  has  enabled  "Rose-nose  "to  continue  to  bounce 
back  smiling,  ready,  willing  and  still  able.

Tom  had  his  choice  between  a  commission  in 
the  Army  and  being  a  midshipman  in  the  Navy, 
and  his  decision  is  obvious.  The  previous  military 
experience  did  prove  to  be  very  helpful.  Gifted 
with  a  special  knack  for  making  friends,  especially 
among  the  ladies,  "Hunk"  never  lacked  for  social 
activity.  During  the  winter  months  he  kept  busy 
with  the  gym  team,  and  he  could  often  be  seen 
flying  up  the  rope  over  in  the  gym.  If  the  South 
is  ever  in  need  of  a  staunch  and  ardent  supporter, 
thev  will  alwavs  have  one  in  Tom.

The  soft  voice  and  brown  eyes  may  have  fooled 
some  people,  but  we  know  that  "Lobo"  can  get 
madder  at  more  things  in  less  time  than  any  other 
six  men  in  the  Regiment.  Possessed  of  a  cynical 
wit,  Bill  has  combined  this  with  his  drawing 
ability  to  turn  out  some  fine  cartoons  for  the  Log 
and  Trident  calendar.  The  rangy  New  Hampshire 
Scot,  commonly  known  about  the  hall  as  the 
"Chaplain,"  swears  that  no  spot  on  earth  can 
compare  to  his  native  northern  mountains,  and 
by  now  we're  convinced.  Keep  us  in  mind,  lad,

r  Doug's  manly  physique  earned  him  many  aliases  such  as  "Superman,"  "B.B.B.," 
and  "Da  Papa."  Doug  proved  during  his  stay  that  the  system  wasn't  unbeatable  for 
he  led  a  charmed  life  in  his  encounters  with  the  Academic  and  Executive  Departments. 
Noted  for  his  capable  and  frequent  navigation  of  the  dance  floor,  casual  observers 
thought  him  a  snake,  but  it  was  just  his  way  of  enjoying  life.  Doug  rounded  out  his

"Doc,"  a  favored  son  of  Ohio,  realized  a  life- 
time of  satisfaction  in  three  years  of  bull  session. 
Where  conversation  was  lacking  he  was  ever- 
readv.  A  happy-go-lucky  soul  with  a  heart  as  big 
as  a  house  and  the  smile  to  go  with  it.  Dragging, 
to  Paul,  was  fine  but  more  often  than  not  he  just 
n  t  get  around  to  it.  Though  he  never  lost  his 
heart  to  a  "snare  and  a  delusion"  he  had  many 
other  activities.  Foremost  among  these  was  ath- 
letics, for  basketball  and  golf  were  his  most 
favorite  pastimes.

Monmolth,  Illinois 

This  diligent  lad  from  the  farm  plains  of  north- 
western Illinois  brought  with  him  a  keen  sense  of 
humor,  diligence,  and  industry.  Tall,  strong,  and 
with  a  mop  of  easily  identified  blond  wavy  hair, 
he  was  something  of  a  dreamer  with  his  head  in 
the  clouds.  Unaccustomed  to  the  confines  of  the 
Academy,  he  anticipated  graduation  from  the  day 
he  entered.  "Blby,"  as  he  came  to  be  known,  had 
rather  serious  bouts  with  academics,  but  there  was 
never  any  doubts  in  the  minds  of  his  classmates 
that  he  would  come  out  on  top.

Though  capable  of  high  scholastic  honor,  "Dody"  perferred  to  pass  his  days  in  a  more 
glib  fashion.  Possessing  a  sharp  wit  and  having  a  passion  for  repartee,  he  liked  noth- 
ing better  than  to  indulge  in  friendly  banter.  A  fondness  for  good  swing  and  inter- 
national politics  suffered  by  his  afternoons  spent  in  varsity  lacrosse  practice,  where 
he  burned  up  the  surplus  energy  which  he  did  not  expend  in  studies.  His  firm  belief 
that  week-ends  were  solely  meant  for  dragging  impressed  upon  all  that  Dody  was  one 
of  the  gayer  Lotharios,  and  ultimately  made  him  famous  for  sojourns  in  the  telephone

the  misfortune  of  having  to  spend  several  months  of  his  plebe  year  in  the  hospital,  his^^ 
perseverance  and  hard  work  have  pulled  him  through  his  academics  with  a  comfortable

Whenever  "Cal"  broke  out  his  trumpet  and 
started  playing,  it  wasn't  long  before  a  crowd 
would  gather  round.  This  rare  combination  of 
musician,  athlete,  and  student  had  a  genuine  in- 
terest in  both  long  hair  and  jive,  and  his  versatil- 
ity was  proved  by  his  ability  to  perform  equally 
well  on  the  piano,  violin,  and  trumpet.  When  not 
playing  basketball,  his  favorite  sport,  "Cal"  could 
always  be  found  busy  at  a  game  of  bridge.  His 
willingness  to  help,  sense  of  humor,  and  talent  for 
entertainment  will  make  him  long  remembered

on  a  pre-medico  course  at  his  state  university  he 
enthusiastically  changed  to  a  military  life.  To  the

not  with  the  girl  of  his  heart  with  whom  he  had 
daily  correspondence  and  beautiful  plans  for  the

for  him  and  his  spare  time  was  spent  cultivating  a 
congenial  smile  and  genuine  humor.

before  his  easy-going  manner  and  jovial  smile  became  well-known.  Never  troubled 
much  by  the  Academic  Department's  efforts  to  confuse  midshipmen,  he  did,  however, 
have  dealings  with  the  Executive  Department  and  the  famous  Form  2's.  As  he  neared

fortune  in  the  Navy.  Academically  Al  stood  well 
in  his  classes,  except  for  a  neck  battle  with  the 
Math  Department.  Leisure  hours  were  divided 
between  track,  various  extra-curricular  activities, 
and  his  special  hobby,  photography.  Gifted  with 
a  natural  charm,  Al  had  his  female  fans,  but  had 
eyes  for  only  the  girl  from  back  home.  Al's  earnest 
desire  to  get  ahead  will  carry  him  far  aboard  ship

7  9/8  hat.  His  friends  made  Bill's  room  their  headquarters  for  extra  instruction  in 
Juice,  and  also  came  to  enjoy  that  talent  that  made  his  "bottle  band"  a  hit  in  the  Musi-

The  Class  of  '46  owes  few  men  more  than  we  do  Buck,  for  he  helped  design  our  class 
crest  and  then  later  as  chairman  of  the  Ring  Committee,  he  executed  a  "coup  de  main" 
and  secured  our  rings  for  us.  Buck  came  to  the  Academy  from  Severn  School  where  he 
had  started  a  brilliant  career  in  lacrosse  only  to  give  it  up  in  favor  of  books.  Besides 
being  a  versatile  athlete,  he  is  also  an  accomplished  artist,  having  contributed  many

Three  years  ago  an  impressment  detail  from  the

It  returned  with  one  steer,  a  small  keg  of  beer, 
and  Ben  Britain.  Within  his  first  week  at  the 
Academy  Ben  acquired  the  nickname,  "Sack- 
back."  In  spite  of  this  natural  inertia,  he  played 
good  basketball  and  boxed  with  a  Texas  style  all 
his  own.  "Sackback"  daily  swears  an  aversion  to 
womankind  and  yet  he  owns  an  ample  roster  of 
eye-catching  "acquaintances."  When  Ben  is 
finally  striped,  he  will  click  his  spurs  together  and 
yell,  "Whar's  the  airplanes  ?"

and  as  our  company's  class  representative,  he  showed  a  great  store  of  latent  energy. 
Academics  were  secondary  to  "Eight"  ;  he  preferred  to  spend  study  periods  with  a  new 
novel  or  magazine.  Like  all  Rebels,  Bob  had  a  great  capacity  for  the  siesta,  but  could

plans  to  put  in  for  one,  with  submarine  attached.

A.R.,  his  timely  suggestions  often  kept  his  wives 
out  of  the  E.H.  and  G.  underbrush  and  off  the

The  track  team  and  the  "swimming  club"  claimed

always  be  the  Navy  and  California  women.

An  easy-going  Rebel,  "Errol"  occasionally  laid  aside  his  magazine  and  ever-present 
cigarette  to  give  one  of  his  classmates  the  "straight  dope"  on  the  subject  for  the  next 
period.  A  "savoir"  in  academics,  he  abhorred  the  thought  of  violent  physical  exertion, 
preferring  instead  to  "get  in  shape"  on  ketch  trips.  If  a  choice  between  Scotch  and 
women  had  to  be  made,  women  didn't  stand  a  chance — though  "Errol"  readily  ad- 
mitted that  he  preferred  a  pleasing  mixture  of  the  two.  Endowed  with  a  passion  for

Mond"  came  to  the  Academy  fresh  from  the  land  of  juleps  and  belles,  with  an  un-1 
surpassable  love  for  life  and  people.  This  love  plus  an  infectious  smile  won  him  many 
friends.  An  athlete  and  musician  of  no  small  repute,  "Goat"  spent  the  majority  of  his 
spare  time  on  the  track  or  practicing  with  the  NA-io.  Although  no  "savoir"  concern- 
ing academics,  Bob  won  his  stars  in  social  activities.  A  hop  was  never  complete  with- 
out him  and  one  of  his  numerous  beautiful  drags.  We  will  long  remember  this  good- 
natured,  easy-going  boy  from  the  deep  South.

Frank 


Lebanon,  Pennsylvania 

"The  name  is  Hawk,  Sir!"  An  ardent  supporter  of  his  Pennsylvania  Dutch — from 
Lebanon  wurst  to  beer — he  was  always  ready  for  a  good  argument.  Often  known  as 
"The  Jaw,"  he  could  often  be  seen  with  his  jutting  "Holmes"  pipe.  Frank  was  an 
adept  athlete,  as  could  be  shown  by  his  constant  activity  in  varsity  football  and  la- 
crosse. Always  concerned  about  duties  and  discipline,  he  possessed  a  brace  that 
astounded  sub-squaders.  Submarines  are  magnetic  to  this  Dutchman,  and  we  cer- 
tainly hope  he  achieves  his  ambition  in  this  field. 


Uniontown,  Alabama 

George  was  one  who  really  knew  how  to  enjoy 
life.  It  didn't  matter  if  things  were  going  wrong, 
"Fight"  was  having  fun,  and  it  was  fun  to  be  with 
him.  "Geoge"  left  the  Uniontown  Belles  to  enter 
the  Academy  with  other  countrymen  and  damn- 
yankees,  and  did  well  by  the  deep  South  here. 
He  was  a  cheer  leader  and  a  track  manager,  defi- 
nitely not  a  "Red  Mike,"  a  lover  of  jive,  and 
savvy  when  he  wanted  to  be.  If  everyone  received 
as  much  pleasure,  just  out  of  living,  as  "Hashi" 
did,  midshipmen  would  lose  their  favorite  topic 
for  discussion — mainly,  gripes. 


St.  Louis,  Missouri 

After  three  years  of  preparation  at  Harris 
Teacher's  College  in  St.  Louis,  "Hank"  came  to 
us  in  quest  of  an  engineering  education  and  a 
career  in  the  Navy.  A  lover  of  the  finer  things  in 
life — good  books,  great  music,  and  excellent  food, 
to  say  nothing  of  the  beautiful  women  and  fine 
liquor — "Hank"  will  go  to  great  lengths  to  ex- 
postulate his  defense  of  the  high  forehead  and  a 
generous  girth.  "Hank's"  disarming  smile,  genial 
countenance,  and  easy  manner  mark  him  as  a 
smooth  operator  and  place  him  at  the  center  of 
the   party,    winning    friends. 


Nahunta,  Georgia 

Bill  has  the  unique  distinction  of  having  fiery 
red  hair  and  eyes  to  match.  His  easy-going  affabil- 
ity, good  humor,  and  rosy  outlook  on  life  were  a 
striking  contrast  to  the  Irish  pugnacity  which  he 
displayed  in  the  boxing  ring.  Despite  numerous 
blows  from  both  the  Academic  and  Executive 
Departments,  the  "Wrambling  Wreck"  always 
kept  his  chin  up  and  a  smile  on  his  face.  Bill  took 
things  easy  and  never  exerted  himself  until  the 
chips  were  down,  but  then  he  could  always  go  to 
work  and  get  results.

Jackson,  Wyoming 

Hailing  from  the  Wyoming  ranges  of  Jackson 
Hole,  the  end  of  the  old  "Owlhoot  Trail,"  this 
rugged  ex-cowpoke  laid  aside  his  books  at  the 
University  of  Wyoming  to  heed  the  call  of  the 
service,  and  his  one  ambition  is  to  return  to  his 
true  love,  the  Gyrenes.  Besides  taking  time  out 
at  the  gym  to  keep  himself  in  shape  and  develop 
his  forty-inch  chest,  Don  managed,  without  too 
great  a  strain,  to  stick  in  the  top  fourth  of  his 
class.  Quiet  and  modest,  Don  knows  what  he 
wants  from  life,  and  his  friends  join  in  hoping  that 
he  gets  it.

'  "Hal."  "Dave,"  Meatball,"  or  just  plain  "Hammie"  hit  the  Naval  Academy  in 
true  razorback  form.  Fresh  from  the  land  of  the  Ozarks  and  beautiful  women,  Hal 
showed  the  Navy  what  really  could  be  done  with  a  1 50-pound  mass  of  muscle.  Never 
content  unless  using  his  powerful  right  arm,  Hal  tossed  his  way  into  varsity  honors 
with  the  football,  baseball,  and  javelin.  His  spectacular  passes  in  football  and  at 
women  made  him  the  idol  of  many  an  American  beauty  on  the  East  Coast.  Always 
grinning  and  full  of  jokes,  "Hammie"  is  our  man  for  a  celebration  or  a  fight. 


George 


Fort  Worth,  Texas 

With  two  years  of  T.  C.U.  under  his  belt,  George  tossed  off  Academy  academics  with 
no  great  personal  strain  and  managed  to  pull  through  a  great  number  of  his  classmates, 
among  which  was  his  wife.  George  enthusiastically  did  his  bit  for  the  company  in  the 
athletic  programs  and  found  time  to  brighten  up  an  afternoon  with  a  volleyball  or 
tennis  game.  Being  the  son  of  a  lawyer,  George  talked  off  more  demerits  than  he 
walked.  We  remember  him  best,  presiding  over  a  frenzied  pre-Bull  exam  session, 
.passing  the  straight  dope  on  to  "Red  and  the  boys."

Marion,  Ohio 


After  a  two-year  stopover  at  Ohio  University,  Jack  came  to  the  end  of  his  trip  at 
Bancroft.  Once  here  he  immediately  started  two  collections:  one  of  numerals  and  let- 
ters from  lacrosse  and  basketball  coaches;  the  other  of  brunettes  from  Washington. 
Academics  weren't  fruit,  but  hard  work  brought  him  grades  that  were  far  more  than 
passable.  This  combination  of  athletics,  academics,  and  women  kept  him  so  busy  that 
he  never  had  enough  time  to  get  into  trouble.  Come  June  of  '45,  the  brunettes'  loss 
will  be  the  Navy's  gain

Scranton,  Pennsylvania 

Out  of  the  coal  lands  of  Pennsylvania  came  this  smiling  Irish  lad  with  a  fighting  Irish 
heart  to  leave  behind  him  an  enviable  record  in  both  company  and  regimental  boxing. 
Frank's  toughest  fight  came,  however,  with  the  Academic  and  Executive  Departments. 
After  trading  lefts  for  three  years,  Mike  slipped  in  a  right  with  a  clever  bit  of  head  work 
and  took  the  decision.  Always  dragging,  Frank  brought  down  a  never  ending  parade 
of  consistently  beautiful  women  to  the  delight  of  his  classmates  and  himself.  Frank's 
methods  of  introducing  humor  into  the  routine  made  him  ever  popular  with  his  class- 
mates. -i^ 


RoAesU  Stanley  JiutcheA, 

Gary,  Indiana 

After  high  school,  Stan  received  an  athletic 
scholarship  at  Michigan  State  but  soon  gave  up 
any  form  of  physical  exertion,  to  devote  himself 
to  his  studies.  Recommendations  by  former 
teachers  led  Stan  to  a  three-years  absence  from 
his  O.A.O.  and  an  unusual  devotion  to  his  work. 
Stan's  philosophy  as  a  plebe  built  itself  around  an 
aversion  for  athletics ;  he  made  the  most  of  week- 
end ketch  trips  to  "get  away"  from  it  all.  Stan, 
a  star  man,  could  always  be  found  reading  a  book 
or  magazine  and  was  ever-willing  to  help  others 
with  their  academic  woes. 


PeteA,  WiUicvm  ^oUnia^t 

Vermillion,  South  Dakota 

Pete  was  born  and  bred  in  the  hilly  lands  of 
South  Dakota,  and  derived  his  humor  from  his 
Midwest  home.  It  has  often  been  said  truthfully 
that  he  could  make  a  pun  of  anything  that  he 
heard.  There  are  people  who  are  endowed  with 
artistic  talent,  and  Pete  is  one  of  these.  He  could 
play  the  clarinet  and  boogie  piano  as  well  as  draw 
cartoons,  which  he  often  did  to  the  dismay  or  joy 
of  his  classmates.  Easy-going,  mild-tempered, 
and  resolute  in  purpose,  Pete  usually  accomplished 
what  he  set  out  to  do,  and  we  feel  confident  that 
few  things  in  life  will  ever  faze  him. 


Fords,  New  Jersey 

From  high  school  via  a  year  of  working  before 
coming  to  the  Academy.  Johnny  waded  through 
the  task  of  academic  life  with  little  difficulty. 
Known  to  all  for  his  consistant  cheerfulness,  gen- 
erally shown  by  his  off-key  singing  and  whistling, 
and  for  a  cigarette  or  pipe  in  his  mouth,  Johnny 
worked  w ith  endless  energy  and  succeeded  in  his 
academics.  Even  more  in  his  line  were  sports.  He 
excelled  in  soccer  and  played  various  company 
sports.  Apparently  a  Red  Mike  to  those  not  in 
the  know,  Johnny  has  his  reason,  and  she's 
sufficient.

Trenton   New  Jersey 

What  "Howie'"  lacked  in  height  he  made  up  in 
energy.  Plebe  year  found  him  wearing  Math  stars, 
lolling  about  the  exclusive  E.  D.  Club's  shed, 
sporting  soccer  numerals,  and  being  chased  by 
irate  Texans,  goaded  on  by  "Hams'"  staunch 
stand  for  Jersey.  First-class  year  he  traded  in 
plebe  numerals  for  varsity,  and  Math  stars  for  a 
yawl  command  on  the  breezy  Chesapeake.  When 
not  working  on  the  Lucky  Bag  as  printing  editor 
or  beating  the  Executive  Department  out  of  a 
frap,  "Howie"  was  holding  his  hand  at  the  latest 
"Board  of  Directors    or  enjoying  life  in  general.

( 


r  The  drop  from  four  striper  at  Farragut  to  plebe  at  the  Naval  Academy  and  the  strain 
of  living  with  two  Texans  for  three  years  brought  a  despondent  "Life  is  Over"  from 
"II  Ponseroso."  He  found  refuge  in  the  fencing  loft  and  behind  the  big  piles  of  letters 
the  mate  would  leave  on  his  desk.  Plebe  year  turned  out  to  be  fruit  for  a  Navy  Junior 
who  used  his  countless  hometowns  for  spoon  bait.  It  was,  however,  the  aristocratic 
security  of  first-class  year  that  pleased  him  most.

Albany,  Georgia 

Ever  since  "Mac"  reported  here,  took  off  his  zoot  suit,  and  put  on  his  first  pair  of 
shoes,  eating,  sleeping,  and  dragging  have  been  the  most  important  things  in  his  life, 
and  no  hop  was  complete  without  his  "wolfing."  The  Irishman's  only  vice  is  gin 
rummy,  which  he  is  always  willing  to  play,  and  seldom  loses.  Yet  curly-haired,  blue- 
eyed  "Mac"  managed  to  keep  above  the  middle  of  our  class  in  academics.  His  ready 
smile,  Southern  drawl,  and  easy-going  way  of  taking  both  good  and  bad  in  stride  make 
Jaim  a  warm  friend  to  all  who  know  him.

"Long  John"  once  told  a  classmate  that  of  the  5,000  people  living  in  Hunt^iHe' 
before  he  left,  4,999  were  convicts,  and  that  he,  all  by  himself,  had  been  the  student 
body  of  Sam  Houston  College  up  on  the  hill.  But  that  was  a  rare  occasion;  on  any 
ordinary  day  he  would  tell  you  that  Huntsville  was  superior  in  everything,  good  or 
bad.  Tex  always  took  his  ambitions  one  at  a  time,  living  from  leave  to  leave,  but  also 
looking  forward  to  graduation  day  when  he  would  set  out  to  look  for  that  bonanza  he 
so  often  talked  about.

When  "Moldie"  changed  his  last  fuse  on  the 
"Big  E"  and  swapped  his  hammock  for  a  Bancroft 
bunk,  he  immediately  hung  out  his  shingle.  "Cali- 
fornia Chamber  of  Commerce:  350  days  a  year 
are  suitable  for  taking  pictures  in  Sunny  South- 
ern California."  Short,  rugged,  and  bronzed,  his 
greatest  delights  were  dragging,  swimming,  sail- 
ing, and  dancing,  and  very  few  were  the  hops  that 
he  missed.  With  his  numerous  tales  of  surf-board 
riding  and  his  cheery  greeting  for  everyone, 
"Moldie"  spread  a  little  of  his  California  sunshine 
in  the  dark  corridors  of  Bancroft.

Coronado,  California 

A  Navy  Junior  and  a  profound  lover  of  the 
Navy,  it  was  only  natural  that  "Monty"  entered 
the  Naval  Academy.  His  chief  interests  were  sail- 
ing, pistol-shooting,  and  reading  Time  magazine; 
however,  not  being  adverse  to  feminine  com- 
panionship, he  always  dragged  when  a  good  op- 
portunity presented  itself.  He  is  not  only  high 
in  class  standing,  but  also  exceptionally  high  in 
the  esteem  of  his  classmates.  Always  dependable, 
considerate,  helpful,  and  energetic,  "Monty"  has 
all  the  traits  necessary  for  a  successful  Naval 
career. 


Shreveport,  Louisiana 

No  midshipman  applied  himself  more  assiduously  to  academics  than  did  the  "Mo." 
However,  he  didn't  let  this  keep  him  from  participating  in  sports  or  indulging  in  sailing 
on  yawls  whenever  possible.  Rowing  on  the  battalion  crew  team,  he  was  in  no  small 
part  responsible  for  winning  the  regimental  championship.  "Mo"  also  went  out  for 
the  favorite  sport  of  midshipmen,  dragging.  He  didn't  always  drag  "queens,"  but  his 
batting  average  was  around  .900,  which  isn't  bad.  But  the  best  thing  he  acquired  was 
friends.  In  this  Les  batted  exactly  1 .000.

"The  hard-bitten  New  Englander  with  one 
hand  on  the  Bible;  the  other  on  your  throat." 
This  is  our  fiery-haired  Irishman,  "Big  Tom." 
Before  coming  here,  Tom  studied  medicine  at  the 
University  of  Vermont,  taking  enough  time  from 
his  cadavers  to  join  A.T.O.  Although  his  huge 
frame  and  a  Navy  bunk  weren't  made  for  each 
other,  the  "Big  Fella"  liked  horizontal  duty.  Food 
and  arguments  he  never  turned  down.  His  robust 
sense  of  humor,  dependability,  and  exactness, 
however,  make  him  welcome  in  work  and  play. 


Ely,  Minnesota 

Out  of  the  wilds  of  Northern  Minnesota,  Ely's 
favorite  son  came  to  the  Naval  Academy  to  make

all  attest  to  his  success.  He  was  a  Red  Mike,  de- 
riving all  his  joys  from  fat  little  boxes  from  his 
folks  Any  afternoon,  he  could  be  found  in  a 
varsity  crew  shell  out  on  the  Severn.  This,  alone 
with  the  nightly  wrestling  bout  with  his  room-

Having  all  traits  of  a  "true  Rebel,"  Bob  came  to  the  Academy  knowing  that  the 
South  won  the  war.  Easy-going,  somewhat  industrious,  and  more  or  less  a  savoir,  life 
at  the  Academy  was  no  strain  for  him.  At  all  hops,  "Moe"  was  seen  in  the  stag  line 
figuring  ways  and  means  to  "wolf"  his  classmates'  beauties.  After  Bob's  experience 
as  coxswain  in  the  racing  shells  he  has  decided  to  view  the  world  through  a  periscope

Bob  left  the  tall  corn  state  for  a  pair  of  tailored  blues  and  a  salty  fiat  hat  along  with 
duty  on  the  U.S.S.  "Maryland."  When  the  day  arrived  that  his  skipper  called  for

He  has  a  great  capacity  for  work  when  there  is

middle  of  his  class,  and  before  any  P-work  many 
savoirs  usually  come  to  his  room  for  counsel  and 
advice.  His  activities  vary  all  the  way  from  var-

bies are  dragging,  listening  to  his  favorite  song

trade  in  his  3/c  fire-controlman's  buzzard  for  the 
honorable  rank  of  Midshipman  4/c.  His  fond 
desire  to  become  a  flier  nearly  made  him  a  victim 
of  the  system  during  youngster  Bull.  Afternoons 
sometimes  found  him  working  out  in  the  gym,  but 
many  more  found  him  sailing  or  flying  model 
airplanes.  Although  Perk  enjoyed  submarine 
school  one  summer's  leave,  his  wives  know  that 
only  a  pair  of  wings  will  ever  satisfy  him;  and  to 
this  we  say,  "Bon  voyage  and  happy  landings."

If  spinning  long  sea  stories  goes  for  making  a  good  sailor,  here  we  have  an  Admiral. 
But  alas!  he  was  a  "gyrene."  Rosey's  ambition  to  come  to  the  Academy  has  been 
long  standing,  and  he  directed  all  his  efforts  to  the  successful  conclusion  of  his  ambi- 
tion. Tall,  black-haired,  with  a  keen  sense  of  humor,  Rosey  has  spent  most  of  his  time 
eating  and  eating.  Between  meals  he  squeezed  in  sufficient  time  to  drag.  His  quiet 
sense  of  humor,  sincerity,  and  willingness  to  pass  along  a  word  of  cheer  made  Rosey 
many  friends  at  the  Academy  who  wish  him  well.

In  his  spare  time  he  pulled  many  a  "bucket"  up 
onto  the  velvet.  He  concentrated  on  dragging, 
and  kept  in  physical  shape  by  occasional  indul- 
gence in  intramurals.  With  U.S.N,  after  his  name, 
Karl  steps  forward  a  proud  officer.

immediately  caught  his  fancy,  and  he  liked  nothing  better  than  skippering  a  yawl  in 
a  stiff  Chesapeake  breeze.  A  career  at  sea  was  a  happy  choice,  for  Don  has  the  zest

Not  to  have  known  Cess  would  have  been  to  miss  half  the  fun  of  being  at  the  Acad-

that  the  Boy  Scouts  is  America's  greatest  institution  and  that  he  would  make  some  girl 
a  wonderful  husband.  Dick  could  play  any  sport  well  and  though  he  was  no  star,  he 
tackled  his  studies  with  a  characteristic  vigor  that  left  his  instructors  breathless  and 
not  a  little  unnerved.  His  frankness  was  at  times  appalling  to  us  all  and  he  was  the

Sutherland,  one  of  the  oldest  men  in  the  company,  quickly  chalked  up  an  enviabla 
career  in  basketball,  football,  track,  and  other  "incidental"  sports  that  will  long  be 
remembered  back  home.  He  was  one  of  the  reasons  our  company  basketball  team 
remained  an  all-time  regimental  champion.  Competitors  in  company  steeplechase, 
military  track,  and  cross-country  found  "The  Jack"  unbeatable.  Academics  did  not 
prevent  his  making  friends,  and  many  remember  his  guiding  them  through  the  "Windy 
City."

Dave 


"Rosie,"  famed  for  his  rose  colored  cheeks,  dropped  in  on  the  Naval  Academy  from 
the  Fleet  to  look  the  situation  over,  decided  he  liked  the  place,  and  determined  to  stay. 
The  sojourn  stretched  into  three  years  of  hard  work — not  that  "Rosie"  detested  work, 
he  just  wouldn't  look  very  hard  for  it.  Youngster  year  kept  him  plenty  busy,  but  it 
was  in  first-class  year  that  he  came  forth  with  all  kinds  of  vim  and  vigor,  finding  time 
to  play  soccer,  wrestling,  and  swim.  He's  eager  now  to  get  out  there  and  finish  the 
job  he  once  started.

"Little  Hubba's"  friends  were  the  ones  to  worry 
about  his  academics — someone  had  to.  Not  until 
the  reexams  did  he  realize  it  was  time  to  learn 
something  about  Skinny.  Charley  took  things 
with  the  least  concern  possible,  and  he  remained 
this  unperturbable  self  for  three  long  years.  His 
good  nature  won  a  place  for  him  as  one  of  the  best 
liked  men  in  the  company.  Recreation  hours 
found  "Hubba"  boxing  or  wrestling,  and  his  op- 
ponents never  knew  until  after  the  fight  that  this 
aggressive  fighter  possessed  such  a  congenial 
personality.

Hailing  from  the  land  of  hula  girls  and  guitars, 
Davis  seems  to  have  weathered  the  change  quite 
well.  The  Academic  Departments  didn't  cause 
him  much  trouble  during  his  first  two  years,  and 
to  find  an  outlet  for  his  unlimited  energy,  David 
chose  his  sports  well.  During  the  spring  it  was 
varsity  golf,  with  the  fall  came  varsity  soccer, 
and  in  the  winter  he  rested.  He  loved  nothing 
better  than  the  swish  of  a  golf  club  or  the  thud  of 
a  soccer  ball,  except  maybe  a  smoke  filled  room 
with  him  holding  a  full  house.

0*  Here  is  a  salty  Texan  out  of  the  Pacific  Fleet.  From  the  U.S.S.  Pennsylvania  to 
£  the  U.S.S.  "Bancroft  Hall"  was  an  easy  jump  for  Harry,  who,  as  everybody  knows, 
"gets  this  stuff"  easily.  Friendly  Harry  has  had  a  hard  time  being  tough  on  anyone 
concerning  money  matters,  although  as  our  secretary-treasurer,  he  has  done  a  good 
job.  Not  content  with  long  hours  balancing  the  books,  he  took  on  the  job  of  profes- 
sional editor  of  the  Log,  producing  more  fine  results.  If  effort  and  hard  work  assure 
success,  Harry  will  have  plenty  of  it  in  the  Fleet. 


Carlsbad,  New  Mexico 

Bobs  choice  of  the  Navy  was  no  doubt  influ-

ex-New  Mexico  cavalryman  soon  decided  that  he 
preferred  the  quiet  of  submarines  to  the  "tossing" 
of  a  "Yellow  Peril."  We  often  heard  Bob  explain- 
ing— "and  then  you  integrate  between  these 
limits" — as  he  helped  his  classmates  struggle 
through  Math.  By  the  end  of  plebe  year,  he  was 
wearing  a  pair  of  those  coveted  stars.  Sports 
found  him  toiling  w  ith  the  pin-pushers,  and  week-

The  cheeriest  man  of  all  the  sandblowers,  "Blackie"  never  seemed  to  lose  his  bright 
outlook  in  life.  After  two  years  of  hard  work  talking  to  town  merchants  about  the 
great  advantages  they'd  gain  by  advertising  in  the  Log,  "Blackie"  gained  the  covetous 
position  of  advertising  manager.  His  ability  to  work  harder  than  the  others  made  him 
the  head  of  the  make-up  gang  for  the  Masqueraders.  He'd  never  heard  of  lacrosse 
until  he  came  here,  but  from  the  minute  he  got  a  stick  in  his  hands,  this  was  his  game. 
."Blackie's"  good  naturedness  will  fit  in  his  dream  submarine.

heart.  Always  seemingly  at  logger-heads  with  the 
Academic  Board,  the  eternal  laughter  of  his  warm 
brown  eyes  was  unquenchable.  In  a  knockabout, 
on  the  deck  of  Dahlgren  Hall,  or  munching  a 
"Dagwood"  sandwich,  Bill  was  the  perfect  broth- 
er-in-arms  for  a  dragging  week-end.  A  man  of 
many  adventures,  many  more  undoubtedly  awaits 
him  in  the  Fleet.

Truly  from  "you  gotta  show  me"  land,  Jack

considered  a  Casanova  and  took  pleasure  in  counting  the  minutes  from  the  time  he  met 
a  cute  female  until  she  told  him  she  loved  him,  yet  he  never  kidded  about  a  certain 
O.A.O.  Other  diversions  included  varsity  fencing  and  running  plebes.  If  Japs  scare  as

Dick  was  a  top-notch  Aviation  Machinist  X  late

this  Fleet  service  he  was  a  ready  and  willing  ad-

matters  of  heart  When  Dick  entered  he  decided 
to  investigate  the  cultural  aspect  of  the  Navy. 
Foremost  on  his  program  were  a  "body  beautiful " 
drive  and  the  study  of  classical  music.  Any  after- 
noon you  could  find  him  in  the  gym  toning  up 
those  bulging  muscles  or  by  the  radio  toning  up 
his  mind  with  "long  hair"  music.  Dick  was  both 
a  hardened  salt  and  a  tender  romanticist.

can  be  sure  that  it'll  be  a  success  all  the  way.

not  disappointed.  With  a  sly  and  subtle  wit,  the

Ambition  coupled  with  the  will  to  win  has  brought  "Mit"  a  long  way  towards  success. 
No  one  has  more  friends,  and  all  admire  him  for  his  integrity,  cheerfulness,  and  fine 
sportsmanship.  His  athletic  prowess  was  not  limited  to  football,  his  first  and  main 
love,  for  he  showed  excellent  ability  as  a  rifleman  and  golfer.  His  love  for  one  of  Texas' 
fairest  and  his  preference  for  golf  to  dragging  hindered  his  social  life,  but  he  was  usually 
there  when  the  band  started  playing.  Cood  luck,  Texan,  it  was  great  to  have  you

"Texas,  a  world  in  its  own,"  and  many  other  glorifying  expressions  for  this  great 
state  were  constantly  expounded  by  Chuck.  When  others  were  worried  about  mail,  he 
had  plenty ;  when  others  weren't  worried  about  plebe  steam,  he  was — plenty.  Although 
Chuck  never  was  worried  about  being  a  star  man,  he  has  an  uncanny  capacity  for  de- 
tail and  plenty  of  good  old  common  sense.  There's  not  a  finer  man  to  be  found  any- 
where ;  his  level  head  and  heart  full  of  convictions  proved  that  he  was  tops.  Charles  is 
a  true  Southern  gentleman  and  a  real  friend.

the  4  :  sign  from  his  mates.  Studies  came  as  easy

of  the  "P-work"  critique,  he  never  left  a  problem  unsolved;  a  practice  that  stood  him 
well  up  in  his  class.  With  his  love  of  flying  and  ambition  to  return  to  his  former  status

As  colonel  of  his  R.O.T.C.  regiment,  Charley 
laid  his  first  claim  to  fame.  On  entering  the  Acad- 
emy he  henceforth  was  known  among  his  many 
friends  as  "Colonel."  Charley  wasn't  the  athletic 
type,  for  that  involved  too  much  work.  A  shelf  of 
excellent  books  and  a  rack  of  pipes  were  more  to 
his  liking  after  drill.  Charley  often  miscalculated 
his  slide  rule  factors,  and  as  a  result  spent  many 
anxious  moments  after  exam  week.  When  not 
dodging  the  Academic  Board,  "Colonel"  was 
always  found  trying  to  untangle  the  snarls  of  his 
romances  with  pen  and  telephone.

rived here  fresh  from  high  school.  Academics  were 
a  breeze  for  him,  and  in  his  spare  time  we  found 
him  dancing  around  in  the  squared  ring.  Bill  has 
been  acquainted  with  the  Navy  all  his  life  down

"Scotty"  holds  an  appreciative  eye  for  the  beauty  of  the  fairer  sex  and  could  be  seen

quiet,  his  behavior  refined  and  reserved.  Although 
an  admirable  student,  he  loved  the  great  outdoors; 
to  him  happiness  is  skiing  among  the  Great 
Rockies  or  hunting  big  game  in  his  beloved  Idaho. 
Equally  at  home  elsewhere  among  people,  he  had

"The  Kid"  had  looked  forward  to  coming  to  the

to  the  bitter  end.  "Sonny"  was  always  on  hand

Alexandria,  Minnesota 

Bob,  never  a  man  for  "sack  drills,"  was  always  on  the  go  with  track  or  extra-cur- 
ricular activities.  Editor  of  the  Trident  and  vice-president  of  the  Trident  Society  as 
well  as  participating  in  numerous  other  organizations,  he  still  managed  to  keep  a 
high  academic  record.  If  any  one  ever  needed  help  Bob  was  always  there  giving  his 
own  valuable  time.  Hardly  a  Red  Mike,  he  never  missed  a  hop,  but  still  kept  a  nos- 
talgia for  the  blondes  of  Minnesota.  He  goes  to  the  Fleet  a  good  organizer,  a  fine  leader 
and  an  unforgettable  friend.

Jack  came  to  Navy  from  Oklahoma  and  the  Army  Air  Corps.  He  never  took  aca-^ 
demies  too  seriously  and  study  hours  frequently  degenerated  into  "bull  sessions,"  one 
activity  in  which  he  had  no  equal.  In  the  line  of  sports,  "Jackson"  majored  in  football 
and  bucked  the  line  from  a  varsity  blocking  back  spot.  But  if  you  wanted  a  good  fast 
match  at  tennis,  wrestling,  squash — you  name  it — he  was  always  ready.  A  man's  man 
and  an  outstanding  member  of  any  group,  Jack  will  be  remembered  as  a  "4.0  guy."

Greensboro,  North  Carolina 

"The  Gazelle,"  as  his  track  teammates  have 
appropriately  named  him,  won  his  greatest  fame 
as  Navy's  best  high  hurdler  in  years  and  inter- 
collegiate champion  by  virtue  of  his  victory  in  the 
annual  IC-4A  meet.  With  surprisingly  little 
effort  Bob  has  combined  his  remarkable  intelli- 
gence and  typical  easy-going  manner  to  compile 
an  envious  record.  A  real  competitor  in  every 
respect,  his  athletic  accomplishments  are  an  indi- 
cation of  his  future  career  in  the  Fleet. 


Bryan,  Ohio 

"This  is  my  last  cigarette  until  football  season 
is  over,"  was  Barney's  daily  vow  from  spring  prac- 
tice until  the  Army  game.  Football  was  his  pas- 
sion at  the  Academy,  while  his  OAO.  was  his 
first  love  at  home.  He  was  not  really  a  "Red 
Mike,"  as  we  all  thought,  but  was  just  being  true. 
Running  close  competition  for  Barney's  time 
was  his  extra-curricular  activity,  chow  hunting. 
"There  ain't  no  gratitude  around  here,"  the  cry 
of  the  disappointed  chow  hound,  sounded  fre- 
quently in  the  "alley." 


South  Norwalk,  Connecticut 

His  classmates  often  wondered  where  Hal  found  the  strength  to  keep  up  his  fast 
pace.  Perhaps  it  was  the  energy  he  conserved  sleeping  during  General  Quarters  and 
mid-watches  on  youngster  cruise.  In  the  spring  you  could  always  find  "Blinky"  chas- 
ing baseballs  in  left  field.  For  three  years  he  played  a  good  game  of  ball  with  the  J .  V. 
and  varsity.  Bernie's  chief  ambitions  (which  he  never  fulfilled)  were  to  abolish  infan- 
try drills  and  to  complete  one  term  without  being  put  on  the  conduct  report.  His 
almost  constant  chatter  in  ranks  drew  a  pointing  finger  from  more  than  one  O.D. 
during  his  stay  here.  •»

Although  he  no  doubt  would  have  done  well  in

time  to  managing  Navy's  football  team.  First- 
class  year  he  handled  the  Head  X  lanager's  many 
and  thankless  duties  with  zeal  and  energy.  Always 
ready  with  a  wide  smile  and  a  "How  re  yadoin'?", 
he  was  quick  to  make  friends  of  all  with  whom  he 
came  in  contact.  Realizing  that  the  academics 
did  not  come  to  him  very  easily,  Paul  constantly 
applied  himself  well  enough  to  make  a  good  show- 
ing on  his  work.  With  his  ability  and  winning

His  classmates  blinked  their  eyes  as  Oscar  shot 
the  bulls-eye  out  of  the  target  during  the  regi- 
mental pistol  competition,  but  that  was  only  a 
warm-up.  Oscar  was  rewarded  for  his  sharp 
shooting  on  the  Varsity  Pistol  Team  by  being 
chosen  captain  of  the  1945  squad.  Oscar  could 
fill  a  Math  board  faster  than  anyone  in  the  com- 
pany, and  unlike  most  of  us,  his  answers  were 
usually  correct.  This  ability  to  supply  the  right 
answer  at  the  proper  time  resulted  in  a  star  aver- 
n  his  academic  work.

Strangely  enough  this  six  foot  fighting  Irishman  prefers  magazines  and  food  to  drag- 
ging, and  in  that  connection  he  is  firmly  convinced  that  Eastern  girls  are  inferior  to 
those  of  the  West,  particularly  the  ones  in  the  vicinity  of  Ogden,  his  home  town. 
Between  his  smiles  and  laughter,  he  can  always  manage  a  good  word  for  his  second 
love,  the  Emerald  Isle.  Besides  general  sports,  Jimmy  was  particularly  interested  in 
sw  imming  and  he  managed  to  make  plenty  of  goals  while  on  the  waterpolo  team.  One 
trait  that  can  not  go  unmentioned  is  Jim's  especially  high  moral  standard,  his  clean 
and  unselfish  manner.

Admittance  to  the  Naval  Academy  spelled  "finis"  to  the  countless  hours  devoted  to 
philosophy  and  music-- so  "Choke"  says!  And  yet,  rarely  could  one  find  him  not 
deeply  engrossed  in  a  book  or  listening  to  a  symphony.  Somehow  he  always  found 
time  for  enthusiastic  participation  in  swimming,  basketball,  and  sailing  or — occas- 
ionally- even  a  blonde  could  stir  him  from  his  "Ivory  Tower."  Fluency  in  Greek  is 
perhaps  Nick's  most  unique  accomplishment— one  which  should  fit  him  admirably

His  ability  in  Math,  Steam,  and  Skinny  often  confounded  his  classmates,  while  his 
spelling  and  grammar  confounded  his  profs.  He  has  been  continuously  active  in  com- 
pany sports,  model  airplane  building,  and  dragging  his  O.A.O.,  Mary.  Since  the  be- 
ginning of  plebe  year  he  habitually  got  into  uniform  after  breakfast  formation  had 
busted  and  still  made  it  to  formation  on  time — or  almost.  He  will  be  remembered  as

form when  the  rest  of  us  were  putting  ours  on  for  the  first  time.  His  main  claim  to 
fame  was  his  consistent  success  with  the  rifle  team,  but  he  would  have  been  an  equally 
valuable  member  of  the  pinochle  team  if  only  there  had  been  one.  His  love  of  "Lib-

individual  with  the  commanding  appearance  was 
a  very  good  athlete,  being  on  the  cross-country, 
sailing,  gym  and  track  teams.  In  varsity  track  he 
was  one  of  Navy's  best  pole-vaulters.  Frank  de- 
veloped his  love  for  the  sea  sailing  off  the  shores 
of  Rhode  Island  back  in  his  youth.  This  back- 
ground also  provided  a  storehouse  of  rich  expe-

and  seaweed  he  had  acquired  during  twenty-two 
months  of  service  in  the  Navy.  Once  firmly  en- 
trenched in  Bancroft  Hall,  he  began  to  bustle  with 
activity.  Blossoming  forth  as  a  gymnast  plebe 
year,  he  gradually  achieved  that  degree  of  excel- 
lence which  entitled  him  to  a  varsity  letter.  Girls 
beware!  "Jamie  Boy"  may  not  be  a  second 
Arthur  Murray,  but  with  that  physique — tread

Although  Pete  came  to  Crabtown  fresh  out  of  high  school,  we  soon  saw  that  his  jib 
was  out  in  such  a  way  that  he  could  "point  high"  academically  and  still  keep  "full  and

letter  and  occasional  visit  from  his  O.A.O.  back  in  Podunk.  It  has  been  a  mystery 
how  he  could  maintain  his  class  standing  and  still  secure  at  2100  to  write  his  nightly

he  would  knock  off  reading  was  when  he  had  a 
chance  to  kabitz  on  a  card  game.  Einstein  had

"Listen,  the  Minneapolis  is  the  best  ship  in

Lae,  Coral  Sea,  and  Midway.  Armand  was  lucky 
in  academics — he  spent  his  study  hours  working

He  was  a  "sucker"  for  pretty  faces.  At  least

experiences.  "Nothin"  bothers  me"  never  worried 
about  academics;  when  a  Navy  turbine  didn't  suit 
him,  he  designed  his  own — no  strain.  This  "slash" 
of  the  Dago  buckets  revolutionized  class  pro- 
cedure, spending  more  time  trying  to  outguess  the

to  "N  laisie"  ;  if  he  doesn't  laugh,  you  may  as  well  don  a  cloister,  for  you'll  never  cause 
Bob  Hope  to  lose  any  hair.  The  only  consistent  worry  of  the  chronically  light-hearted 
"Maisie"  was  fastening  his  collar  around  his  ever-expanding  wrestler's  neck.  But 
though  his  serious  moments  did  not  extend  far  beyond  Steam  class  and  the  monthly 
perusal  of  his  pay  book,  the  Oklahoma  City  paper  boy  is  dependable  and  accommo- 
dating to  an  extreme,  and  if  he  calls  vou  his  friend,  vou  command  him.

"Wife,  remind  me  never  to  drag  again!"  Every  Sunday  night  after  an  especially 
large  social  week-end,  Tom  put  out  the  same  line.  Then,  tossing  his  Steam  book  into 
a  dusty  corner  of  the  closet,  he  proceeded  to  break  out  his  pen  and  dictionary  and  spend 
the  entire  evening  in  lining  up  another  "Melis  Special''  for  the  next  hop.  A  spasmodic 
athlete  and  savoir,  Tom  was  best  known  for  his  warm  personality  and  vigorous  defense 
of  his  home  town.  Sidelighting  his  career  at  the  Academy  were  his  Link  Trainer  tricks, 
sgpk  drills,  chow  hunts,  and  his  ever-present  ambition  to  secure  a  "oui"  from  the  Dago

"Happy  Joe"  is  of  the  species  that  smile  when  they  are  right,  and  he's  usually  smil- 
ing. An  advocate  of  the  live  and  let  live  policy.  This  native  of  Alexandria,  "Not  on  the 
Nile,  but  just  as  worthwhile,"  Indiana,  spent  what  spare  minutes  he  had  in  pursuit  of 
the  favorite  Academy  pastime — sack  drill.  Always  ready  to  try  anything,  Joe  played 
J.  V.  basketball,  had  ability  at  any  and  all  musical  instruments,  and  never  passed  up 
an  opportunity  to  drag.  Elected  company  representative  during  youngster  year,  the 
happy  boy  will  always  have  the  confidence  of  those  who  have  known  him.

Massachusetts  has  another  sea-going  son  to  be  proud  of  in  Jerry  O'Neil.  On  entering 
the  Academy,  he  realized  his  greatest  ambition,  for  it  was  the  gateway  to  "the  only 
life  for  me" — which  expresses  his  feeling  about  the  Navy.  Somewhat  reserved,  ex- 
tremely sincere,  highly  intelligent,  friendly  as  only  the  Irish  can  be,  he  somehow  lacks 
that  explosive  Irish  temper,  as  shown  by  his  patience  in  dealing  with  the  many  who 
sought  his  aid  in  academic  difficulties.  Jerry's  interest  in  the  Naval  Academy  has 
given  him  an  enviable  record  here,  and  his  interest  in  the  Fleet  is  even  stronger.  The 
capability  he  has  shown  here,  plus  his  strong  inclination  to  the  sea,  mark_him  as  a 
certainty  for  success.

Although  he  came  from  below  the  Mason- 
Dixon  line,  Russ  wasn't  bothered  much  by  the 
Civil  War,  but  he  would  argue  about  its  after- 
math and  present  day  problems  as  long  as  he  had 
an  opponent.  He  became  known  to  all  of  us  when 
he  represented  us  in  the  boxing  ring  plebe  summer 
and  we  soon  learned  that  we  could  expect  to  find 
him  working  out  in  the  ring  whenever  we  went  to 
the  gym.  Supplementing  his  big  business  deals 
and  dragging  sessions  with  an  occasional  dip  into 
the  books,  he  was  able  to  keep  one  jump  ahead  of 
the  Academic  Board  and  stay  "sat."

of  a  horse,  and  since  then  the  luckless  Arkansan 
has  been  saddled  with  the  handle,  "Horsecollar." 
Mo'  never  had  to  bother  with  academics;  he  held 
a  continual  sack  drill  during  study  hour,  relying 
on  the  Moore  factor,  a  hairy,  egg-like,  knowledge 
bump  protruding  from  the  back  of  his  head.  He 
spent  his  week-ends  haunting  the  Nurses'  Quar- 
ters or  getting  up  steam  via  yard  engines.  Star 
telephone  customer,  sea  lawyer  de  luxe,  he  held 
the  record  for  evading  fraps  and  watches.

r  Three  years  at  Springfield  College,  a  year  in  the  Fleet,  then  "ex  scientia  tridens." 
Outside  of  periodic  skirmishes  with  academics,  Johnny  led  an  officially  tranquil  mid- 
shipman's life.  With  his  oarsman's  body,  quick  smile,  and  cordial  New  England  man- 
ner, he  might  have  been  a  Casanova,  but  a  lass  named  Jinny  held  his  heart.  He  pulled 
a  mean  oar  on  the  Severn  in  the  varsity  shell.  Beneath  a  mischievous,  fun-loving 
exterior,  "Rad"  was  often  suspected  of  a  serious,  idealistic,  inner  side,  though  he  kept 
it  concealed.  But  to  have  John  as  a  friend,  seek  the  gay,  light-hearted  places;  he'll

country, until  at  the  end  of  the  season  he  was  the 
number  one  man.  "Gunder's"  steady  work  in  the

on  the  varsity  track  team,  where  he  has  been  a

A  typical  New  Englander  from  the  state  of  New  Hampshire,  Ben  was  the  quiet  re- 
served type,  a  star  man  as  a  friend  as  well  as  in  academics.  He  carried  a  big  stick  in 
J.V.  lacrosse,  and  spent  many  of  his  free  hours  sailing  the  Chesapeake.  During  his 
youngster  year  he  added  his  voice  to  the  Glee  Club  and  his  dancing  ability  to  the 
famous  Glee  Club  dancing  chorus.  "Sherm"  took  advantage  of  all  the  hops  and  drag 
week-ends,  giving  all  the  girls  a  break  by  not  confining  his  talents  to  just  one.  He  was 
a.  persistent  fellow  who  always  got  the  job  done,  and  well.

He  is  perhaps  better  known  to  us  as  the  Honorary  Head  of  the  Math  Department 
and  Consulting  Mathematician  for  All  Hands.  There  was  always  doubt  as  to  who  was 
the  prof  in  his  Math  class.  Bill  started  making  his  Nav  marks  early  in  plebe  year  by 
rowing  on  Buck  Walsh's  crew  squad.  As  advertising  manager  and  brilliant  financier, 
most  of  his  spare  time  was  spent  taking  care  of  the  Lucky  Bag's  money  troubles.  Bill 
is  not  an  addict  of  wine,  women,  and  song,  but  somehow  he  managed  to  keep  smiling 
and  always  will — his  key  to  success.

If  ever  a  4.0  guy  dropped  into  the  Naval  Acad- 
emy, Joe  "Smitty"  is  he.  His  popularity  is  un- 
questionable, since  everyone  who  knows  him  likes 
him.  As  manager  of  the  varsity  gym  team  both 
youngster  and  first-class  years,  Joe  did  a  superb 
job.  (His  1944  team  was  intercollegiate  cham- 
pions.) The  only  time  anything  but  a  smile  crosses 
Smitty's  boyish  face  is  when  reveille  blows  and 
reminds  him  he  isn't  with  his  pretty  girl-friend 
after  all.  At  all  other  times  Joe  is  good  nature 
itself.  He'll  make  a  fine  shipmate  and  a  good 
officer. 


Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania 

If  the  Pittsburgh  Chamber  of  Commerce  ever 
needs  a  man  to  tell  of  the  charms  of  that  city,  they 
will  find  a  good  man  in  Bill.  For  three  years  he 
defended  the  "Smoky  City"'  against  the  deroga- 
tory remarks  of  various  classmates  who  came 
from  where  the  air  is  fresh  and  pure.  Upon  arrival 
Bill  took  great  interest  in  swimming,  but  one  day 
he  saw  the  white  sails  of  the  yawls  and  ketches. 
Being  a  man  who  believes  in  fun  along  with  exer- 
cise, he  became  an  ardent  sailor  of  the  big  boats. 
A  real  Navy  man,  there's  a  place  in  the  Fleet  for 
him.

No  one  who  knew  Jack  will  forget  his  good  humor  and  broad  grin.  He  was  always

telling  us  stories  about  Sioux  City,  Iowa  State  College,  and  a  certain  girl  called  "T." 
J.  Rodney  was  a  star  fencer,  winning  "N's"  during  his  youngster  and  first-class  years. 
Being  also  a  prominent  sailor,  he  spent  most  of  his  spare  time  in  the  yawls  out  on  the

A  true  Southerner,  Tommy  brought  to  Annapo- 
lis a  distinct  loyalty  to  his  Volunteer  State.  Tom 
dabbled  successfully  in  battalion  tennis,  golf,  and 
women:  they  all  reacted  favorably.  Aside  from 
that,  his  favorite  diversions  were  chocolate-nut 
sundaes  and  defending  the  South  against  the 
"Damn  Yankees."  Previous  military  training 
consisted  of  skipping  R.O.T.C.  drills  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Tennessee.  Tom's  one  desire  was  to  slow 
down  the  system  to  meet  the  requirements  of  a 
gentleman  from  the  old  South.

Regardless  of  time  or  place,  Charlie  was  always

Norwich  and  that  there  are  trout  in  Vermont. 
Academics  ran  a  close  second  to  his  letters  to  the 
)  A  O.  but  he  always  managed  to  find  some  time 
for  study.  On  week-ends,  Charlie  protected  his 
title  of  "Champion  of  the  Tea-Fights"  by  his 
perfect  attendance.  The  only  worry  he  had  dur- 
his  three  years  at  the  Academy  was  his  wavy 
brown  hair  and  as  a  result  he  was  an  ardent  fol- 
lower of  the  hair  tonic  ads  on  "How  not  to  be

demics. He  easily  made  the  varsity  rifle  team  plebe  year  and  continued  to  be  one  of  its 
outstanding  members.  In  several  sports,  he  was  always  a  good  man  to  have  playing 
on  your  side.  Because  of  his  quiet  and  unobtrusive  manner  and  his  ability  to  make  the 
best  of  any  situation,  he  will  be  as  well  liked  in  the  years  to  come  as  he  was  here  at

Being  tops  in  academics  gave  Dick  and  his  magic 
slipstick  plenty  of  time  and  opportunity  to  help

sports  were  crew  and  football.  He  was  an  out- 
standing varsity  crewman  and  a  regular  battalion

this  explains  his  success  at  the  Academy  in  sailing

out his  stay  at  the  Academy  he  was  an  authority

Andy's  primary  interest  in  "the  old  Xyvee" 
probably  lies  in  the  tact  that  he  came  to  the  Acad- 
emy from  an  old  Navy  town  in  Virginia — Ports- 
mouth. His  easy-going  manner  and  pleasant  dis- 
position and  wit  placed  him  in  good  stead.  Andy 
has  taken  a  keen  interest  in  both  dragging  and 
athletics  during  his  Severn  sojourn.  The  company 
boxing  team  and  the  gymnasium  have  both  been 
made  very  much  aware  of  his  presence.  Andy's 
exceptional  character  and  training  will  serve  him 
well  in  his  chosen  career.

Right  off  the  presidential  yacht  after  twenty-eight  months  of  service  came  "Ski"  to 
bring  to  the  Severn  shores  his  flashy  eyes  and  jovial  smile.  These  qualities  soon  at-

and  complicated  '"chicken-troubles" — all  of  which  were  a  constant  source  of  amuse- 
ment to  "Zivo's"  friends.  Early  scholastic  difficulties  in  Dago  and  Bull  rather  damp- 
ened his  athletic  ambitions  but  did  not  prevent  him  from  becoming  an  ardent  bridge

of  the  Cambridge  variety  rates  that  classification.

If  you  don't  know  this  cosmopolitan  fellow  it  is  a  "sine  qua  non"  that  you  are  a

home.  This  is  Candler — the  tall,  stern,  and  distinguished  looking  character  who  pro- 
vided a  "Spot  One"  for  any  section  formation.  Red-faced  and  speechless  when  angry, 
singing  when  he  was  well-fed  and  happy,  he  liked  to  picture  himself  a  typical  Irishman 
in  spirit  and  determination.  A  Navy  man  from  seventeen  and  probably  until  sixty-five, 
he  will  carry  a  friendly  disposition  and  an  efficient  administration  to  any  ship.

Bill  was  a  good  looking  little  Irishman  with  that 
personality  that  has  won  the  race  so  many  friends, 
and  that  magic  conversation  that  seems  to  get 
results.  But  certain  episodes  involving  green 
banshees  with  transparent  skin  were  just  a  trifle 
incredible.  Bill  held  Navy  scoreless  in  the  Aca- 
demic Department,  but  it  was  none  the  less  a 
thrilling  game.  Most  of  the  touch  and  go  daily 
strife  at  the  Academy  missed  him.  His  mind  was 
too  preoccupied  gamboling  in  the  Elysion  fields

One  of  the  quietest  lads  in  the  company,  Howie 
was.  nevertheless  one  of  the  best  liked  men  in  his 
outfit.  Howie  didn't  really  get  moving  until  he 
hit  Juice  youngster  year,  and  then  his  early  expe- 
rience as  an  amateur  radio  operator  really  paid 
dividends.  Like  many  others  at  the  Academy, 
Howie  spent  the  majority  of  his  week-ends  out  in 
town  or  dragging,  minus,  of  course  that  time  that 
he  wasn't  on  his  sack.  Reminiscing  classmates 
will  always  remember  Howie's  good-natured  at- 
titude and  wish  him  years  of  good  luck  in  the 
Fleet.

Coming  to  the  Academy  directly  from  high  school,  Jack  soon  proved  his  ability  to 
handle  his  studies  with  ease  and  become  an  outstanding  athlete  at  the  same  time. 
"The  Moose"  early  in  his  career  became  the  "plebe  sensation"  of  the  varsity  track 
team,  winning  his  N-star  in  his  first  year.  Proud  owner  of  the  widest  grin  in  the  Acad- 
emy, his  real  depth  of  character  is  brought  out  only  by  the  little  things,  such  as  the 
motto  pasted  in  his  locker  revealing  his  firm  conviction  that  "nothing  is  impossible  if 
vou  reallv  try."

"Oh,  haven't  you  heard?  Billy  is  from  Birmingham."  Many  a  time  in  his  life  at  the 
Academy  Bill  had  to  defend  his  native  state  against  his  Yankee  buddies.  It  shall 
never  be  said  that  he  could  not  express  himself  when  it  came  to  his  likes  and  dislikes. 
This  applied  especially  to  Profs  and  Math.  Eating,  dragging,  lacrosse  and  football 
were  his  ranking  diversions.  With  a  sparkling  personality  and  a  teasing  smile  Billy  will 
never  lack  hosts  of  friends  nor  respect  from  both  superiors  and  subordinates.

From  Indiana,  Frank  brought  a  love  of  quiet  week-ends  with  a  good  magazine,  a  fin^ 
cigar,  and  Andre  Kostelonetz.  Being  a  "Red  Mike,"  dragging  was  not  for  him.  Though^ 


he  had  a  fine  eye  for  beauty,  he  thought  it  was  "too  much  work."  Once  in  a  while  he 
tore  himself  away  from  his  solitude  for  a  week-end  of  sailing,  but  his  first  love  was  his 
Sunday  siesta  in  Bancroft  Hall.  Aquatic  sports,  water  polo  and  racing  took  most  of 
his  afternoons,  and  he  made  a  lively  player  in  any  game.  Wherever  he  goes,  Frank 
will  be  welcomed  for  his  energetic  way  of  getting  things  done  and  his  liberal  under- 
standing nature.

Brooklyn,  New  York 

Because  his  brother  graduated  from  West  Point,  Al's  first  dream  was  the  Military 
Academy.  But  when  the  time  came  for  a  possible  transfer,  he  chose  to  remain  Navy. 
His  strong  desire  to  personally  beat  West  Point  in  something  was  perfectly  natural 
and  the  main  reason  why  we  found  him  on  the  gym  team.  Musically  inclined,  he  took 
an  active  part  in  the  choir,  the  Glee  Club,  and  the  Musical  Club  shows,  where  we  re- 
member him  especially  for  his  part  in  the  dancing  choruses.  Those  who  knew  him 
could  never  forget  his  sparkling  quips,  his  practical  jokes,  and  his  awful  puns.

The  "King"  or  "Clutch"  was  a  gift  to  us  from 
the  Class  of  '45.  He  helped  us  while  away  many 
an  idle  hour  with  his  sandpaper  singing  and  his 
sketches  of  most  anything,  some  of  which  he  con- 
tributed to  the  Log.  Being  a  Navy  Junior  he  told 
many  an  interesting  anecdote  of  adventures  in 
China  and  his  foreign  home — California.  His  most 
famous  record  was  in  dragging,  having  missed  only 
two  week-ends  in  a  year  and  a  half  and  only  then 
because  of  measles.

Making  the  jump  from  high  school  to  Annapolis 
in  one  leap  is  no  small  task,  but  Art  succeeded  so 
well  that  he  snagged  some  stars  in  the  process.  So 
Art  spent  the  major  share  of  his  time,  not  study- 
ing, but  fending  off  all  the  remarks  about  his  stat- 
ure that  came  from  his  chiding  pals.  His  favorite 
pastime  seemed  to  be  listening  to  fine  records, 
relating  tales  of  Portland,  getting  sun  tans,  and 
speaking  Portuguese.  Art  was  another  one  of  those 
fellas  whose  sharp  humor  contributed  to  the  con- 
versation, but  best  of  all  he  was  always  ready 
to  lend  his  classmates  a  helping  hand.

If  one  was  startled  out  of  his  reverie  with  a 
cheery  "Bom  Dia,  Senher,"  about  gg' (  of  the 
time  he  would  turn  around  and  find  himself  con- 
fronted by  a  tall,  good-looking  chap  who.  pecu- 
liarly enough,  declares  that  Idaho  is  thebest  state 
in  the  union.  His  linguistic  enthusiasm  made  him 
president  of  the  Portuguese  Club,  his  terpsicho- 
rean  enthusiasm  made  him  a  genuine  operator  at 
the  hops,  and  his  ability  to  make  himself  and  his 
companions  at  ease,  made  him  a  pretty  swell  guy 
wherever  he  went.

In  future  years,  reflecting  classmates  will  retain 
a  few  impressions  of  "The  Gooder" — a  locker 
eternally  loaded  with  chow — always  willing  to 
take  a  week-end  watch — his  senatorial  frown  and 
gesture  in  Bull — and  long  lasting  third  day  on  the 
rifle  range.  Stung  once  plebe  year  by  what  was 
laughingly  called  a  drag,  Dan  tried  to  be  faithful 
,irl,  but  found  it  a  near  impossibility,  slip- 
ping frequently.  He  starred  in  diversified  things 
such  as  that  of  crew,  cox'n,  letter  writer,  pin- 
pusher,  liberty,  and  leave.

Quincy,  Illinois 

f  Known  to  us  as  "El,"  or  more  intimately  as  "Feelee,"  he  has  all  the  assets  of  a  4.0 
Naval  officer.  Nor  did  he  have  to  acquire  these  at  the  Academy,  as  he  is  one  of  very 
few  who  are  born  with  the  "know  how  "  of  military  procedure.  Academically  he  has 
ne\  er  had  any  trouble.  (Disregarding  Dago,  of  course.)  During  his  free  time  El  would 
curl  up  on  his  bunk  with  a  news  magazine  and  stay  that  way  until  chow  or  the  sound 
of  an  airplane  engine  would  rouse  him.  Sports1  His  motto  was  always:  "When  I  feel 
like  exercisin",  I  lie  down  until  the  feeling  passes." 


Brooklyn,  New  York 

A  proud  product  of  Brooklyn,  Bene  amazed  us  all  with  his  never-empty  chow  locker, 
the  voluminous  stacks  of  mail  he  received,  his  profuse  knowledge  of  baseball  (par- 
ticularly of  the  Dodgers)  and  above  all  his  unique  ability  to  march  exactly  ten  degrees 
out  of  phase  with  the  rest  of  his  section.  "Gorilla"  was  an  avid  sports  fan  and  a  firm 
believer  in  the  daily  workout.  Afternoons  usually  found  him  in  the  gym  or  on  the 
lacrosse  field.  The  Reception  Committee  made  good  use  of  his  amiable  disposition  and 
knack  for  making  friends  easily,  attributes  which  assure  his  continued  success.

Dick  brought  with  him  from  Harvard  and  Massachusetts  a  fondness  for  music, ! 
Boston  brown  bread,  literature,  and  Brooks  Brothers  tweeds;  and  he  probably  never 
changed  much,  down  inside.  Never  having  much  trouble  with  academics,  he  managed 
to  star.  He  tried  his  hand  at  plebe  swimming,  and  later  at  boxing  and  sailing.  Pre- 
ferred activities,  however,  were  thinking  of  leave,  speaking  French,  and  escorting 
blonde  women  (although  he  always  seemed  to  find  time  to  work  out  with  the  extra 
duty  squad).  He  had  a  large  appetite  for  food  and  living  in  general  and  looked  forward 
impatiently  to  graduation  and  becoming  an  officer.

Salmon, Idaho 

It  was  no  coincidence  that  Nick's  favorite  rec- 
ord was  Idaho;  he  just  plain  loved  God's  country 
and  made  no  pretense  of  hiding  the  fact.  Nick 
would  rather  extol  the  wonders  of  Salmon,  Idaho, 
than  do  anything  else.  But  he  did  consent  oc- 
casionally to  spend  some  time  in  town  during 
week-ends,  and  to  do  a  little  dragging.  The  Aca- 
demic Department  clashed  frequently  with  Nick, 
but  in  the  end,  the  latter  was  victorious.  During 
his  spare  moments,  Nick  played  a  little  touch  foot- 
ball, and  slept  the  rest  of  the  time,  undoubtedly 
dreaming  of  his  Idaho. 


Nashville,  Tennessee 

"Navy  Junior  Fred"  brought  with  him  to  the 
Academy  an  incurable  sense  of  mischief,  a  little 
black  book  two  inches  thick,  and  the  looks  and 
personality  of  a  born  lady  killer.  During  his  three 
year  sentence  he  was  top  man  of  the  plebe  rifle 
team,  a  gym  ace,  a  general  all-round  athlete,  and 
the  kind  of  guy  who  never  heard  that  plebes  didn't 
rate  dragging.  As  long  as  people  like  good-looking, 
pleasantly  impish  guys,  as  long  as  Naval  officers 
have  wives,  "Bones"  will  more  than  get  along. 


Oelwein,  Iowa 

Most  of  the  better  cliches  making  the  round  were  Hilsy's  brain-children  in  some 
form  or  another.  Drawing  from  a  seemingly  inexhaustable  source  of  humor,  Bob 
always  had  one  on  tap  for  any  occasion.  He  managed  to  joke  his  way  through  three 
years  of  Math,  so  he  says,  but  had  little  trouble  with  Bull,  his  favorite  subject.  An 
old  journalism  man,  Hilsy  covered  sports  for  the  Log  in  his  spare  moments,  besides 
playing  a  fine  trombone  in  the  NA-io.  Someone  has  estimated  that  Hilsy  and  his 
redheaded  OA.O  out  in  Iowa  exchanged  better  than  a  letter  a  day  during  his  stay, 
here,  but  he  maintains  that's  a  slight  exaggeration.  ^

r  Give  Jake  ten  minutes  to  expound  on  the  wonders  of  the  South  and  you'll  be  con- 
vinced that  that's  the  only  place  to  he  from.  An  ex-Clemson  U.  man,  Jake  brought 
with  him  to  Navy  a  love  of  soccer  and  baseball,  a  dislike  for  the  Northern  version  of 
grits  and  gravy,  and  a  perpetual  smile.  As  far  as  the  latter  was  concerned,  possibly 
the  ease  in  which  Jake  handled  academics  was  the  answer.  A  fine  mixer,  Jake  says  that 
1 1  they  keep  plenty  of  South  Carolina  weather  on  tap  in  the  Pacific,  he  won't  have  much 
trouble  getting  along  in  the  Fleet.

Usually  quiet  and  reserved,  Bill  became  lo- 
quacious when  discussing  the  virtues  of  his  ever- 
sn  homeland.  His  pride  in  his  little  resort 
hometown  gave  him  the  nickname  "Seaside. " 
Seldom  bothered  by  academics,  Bill  often  suc- 
cumbed to  the  irresistable  appeal  of  his  sack  dur- 
ing study  hours.  But  be  there  any  game  from 
chess  to  basketball,  a  philosophic  bull  session,  or 
a  plan  for  beating  the  system,  he  was  always 
ready  to  take  part.  We  will  remember  him  for 
his  Red  Mike  convictions,  his  idealistic  outlook, 
and  his  ever  present  grin.

"Hey,  Jack!  How  do  you  work  the  fifth  prob?" 
and  Jack  always  knew.  His  scholastic  ability  ap- 
peared first  at  Notre  Dame,  but  the  Irish  lost  to 
the  Academy.  Here,  sports  took  a  large  part  of 
Jack's  time;  soccer,  softball,  and  basketball  being 
among  the  favored.  But  despite  his  stars  and  ath- 
letic endeavors,  a  dragless  week-end  would  have 
been  a  major  catastrophe.  Jack,  a  likeable,  "on- 
the-ball "  fellow,  will  always  be  an  asset  as  a  com- 
panion and  friend. 


Utica,  New  York 

Equipped  with  a  sense  of  humor  and  an  endless  capacity  for  complaining,  the  "Pride 
of  Utica"  had  no  trouble  in  becoming  one  of  the  fellows  down  at  "Navy."  Jonsie's 
passion  for  jive  and  night  life  was  equalled  only  by  his  desire  to  become  a  Marine. 
Most  of  his  spare  time  was  taken  up  on  the  tennis  courts  except  on  week-ends  when  he 
was  usually  giving  the  fairer  sex  a  break.  Wherever  the  service  may  call  him  he  will 
always  be  looked  up  to  by  his  men  and  fellow  officers  for  his  loyalty,  ability  and  pleas- 
ant personality.

Well-built  and  possessing  not  unspectacular  abilities  in  almost  any  sport  he  enterec^

possible  so  he'd  be  in  shape  for  his  annual  sojourn  to  the  land  of  eternal  sunshine.  A 
quick  wit  and  always  ready  for  a  fine  time,  be  it  in  Annapolis  on  a  week-end  or  in 
Coronado  during  leave,  Kel's  friendship  was  valued  by  all  who  knew  him.

Old  Uncle  Dan  brought  all  the  Longhorn  spirit  and  fun  up  from  Texas  to  the  Acad-

Texas.  A  three  sport  man  and  a  League  champion  at  Culver,  Dan  was  a  leader  in 
varsity  football  and  track  while  at  Navy.  Although  he  believed  in  doing  the  right 
thing  at  the  right  time  when  the  proper  time  rolled  around,  Dan  enjoyed  himself  more 
than  anyone.  When  Dan  leaves  the  Academy  we  know  that  he  will  live  up  to  the 
highest  traditions  of  the  Naval  Service,  and  will  sustain  the  fighting  spirit  of  those 
who  have  preceded  him.  '^

gretted it  ever  since — he  just  can't  get  over  miss- 
ing the  Tiger's  baseball  games.  He  insists  that 
"Deetroit"  can't  be  beat  and  his  major  pastime 
was  always  anticipating  leave  in  the  automobile 
center  of  the  U.S.  Taking  the  rigors  of  Academy 
life  fairly  easy,  Bud  played  accordian  in  the  Musi- 
cal Club,  wielded  a  wicked  ping-pong  paddle,  and 
like  the  rest  of  his  classmates  was  a  true  sack  man. 
Affable  and  easy-going,  Bud  will  have  little

his  gallant  tussle  with  the  Executive  Department  in  the  summer  of  the  Arkansas 
cruise.  Satisfied  that  the  system  was  unbeatable,  he  decided  to  play  the  game  the 
Naval  Academy  way,  and  see  that  the  underclass  did  likewise.  His  ability  to  do  every- 
thing well  that  he  undertakes  will  find  a  welcome  outlet  in  the  Fleet.

When  someone  said  that  there  ought  to  be  a 
-minute  late  bell,  especially  for  Nick,  they  hit 
the  nail  square  on  the  head,  for  it  was  Nick  who 
invariably  leaped  into  ranks,  minus  his  reefer, 
after  the  late  bell  had  sounded.  This  habit  never 
held  true,  how  ever,  when  week-ends  rolled  around, 
because  Nick  was  the  first  one  outside  the  gate. 
Jim  believed  in  being  firm  with  the  plebes,  but 
always  could  be  persuaded  to  give  his  inimitable 
"Swedish"  dialogue  for  entertainment.  In  years

quite  easily  the  "Moley  Ole,"  as  he  was  known  to  his  classmates,  had  plenty  of  time 
for  relaxation  in  the  form  of  swimming  and  water  polo.  As  long  as  the  sunshine  re-

though a  faithful  pilgrim  to  the  "Shrine  of  the  Heated  Radiator"  he  was  a  good  rifle 
shot,  and  Oscar's  proudest  achievement  was  winning  the  Regimental  Small  Bore  Rifle 
Championship  youngster  year.  "By"  dragged  often  and  well,  showing  a  marked  pre- 
disposition to  several  different  New  York  girls.  An  academic  star,  a  receiver  of  much 
show,  and  an  infrequent  studier,  he  was  a  good,  although  hectic,  wife.

Jake  was  always  pretty  busy  playing  football,  basketball,  studying,  or  just  sort  of

Jake's  ruddy  complexion  set  off  a  bright  smile  that  exposed  the  fact  that  most  of  his 
complaints  were  just  conversational.  His  good  nature  kept  him  from  falling  into  the 
conventional  rut  that  caught  most  of  us.  Jake  showed  us  that  a  sense  of  humor  could 
stand  a  man  in  good  stead  in  any  situation.

himself  often  the  butt  of  his  own  jokes.  In  sports 
Si  was  a  company  competitor;  and  always  strove 
to  be  the  best.  As  for  academics,  he  may  have  re- 
ceived honorable  mention  on  numerous  trees,  but 
he  always  had  plenty  of  drive  when  it  was  needed.

emy, he  matched  the  Academic  Department  for 
three  years  w  ithout  a  loss  to  demonstrate  that  it

r  Discouraged  after  two  years  of  Knox  College,  Bill  came  to  the  Academy,  with  a 
battered  Conn  cornet,  twelve  Count  Basie  records,  and  a  mastery  of  rhetoric.  Several 
important  sections  of  the  1945  Lucky  Bag  were  largely  products  of  Bill's  productive 
abilities  along  the  last  line.  There  was  always  so  much  else  to  do,  that  Poly  dabbled 
in  academics  only  enough  to  secure  a  starring  average  .  .  .  outside  of  that,  it  was  just 
too  much  work  !  Always  at  his  best  in  an  argument,  Poly's  dry  wit  usually  ended  the 
discussion  with  the  score  overwhelmingly  in  his  favor.

Probably  one  of  the  best  card  players  of  the  Academy,  Robbie  just  couldn't  see 
wasting  much  time  studying.  A  pretty  savvy  man  anyway,  the  stocky  Californian 
spent  what  few  study  periods  he  did  have,  corresponding  with  his  California  O.A.O., 
Molly.  As  far  as  athletics  went,  Robbie  contributed  more  than  once  to  his  company's 
success,  especially  on  the  gym  team,  and  was  always  a  willing  member  of  any  sporting 
contest.  As  to  the  future,  all  Robbie's  classmates  wish  him  good  luck  in  whatever  he 
does  either  in  the  Navy  or  sporting  around  his  beloved  Long  Beach. 


San  Diego,  California 


Coming  to  the  Naval  Academy  via  the  Fleet,  the  plebe  summer  indoctrination 
period  held  no  fears  for  "Salty."  He  is  the  only  Californian  who  never  gave  a  hoot 
about  returning  there  and  basking  in  their  famous  sunshine.  Reading  Brazilian  novels 
and  the  fencing  team  took  some  of  his  spare  time,  but  most  of  it  was  devoted  to  women 
through  the  medium  of  letters,  bull  sessions  and  dragging.  His  ability  to  diligently 
apply  himself  to  any  task  will  insure  him  success  in  his  first  love — the  Navy. 


\ 


Ypsilanti,  Mich,  and  Coral  Gables,  Fla. 

Larry  was  academically  conditioned  by  a  year 
at  Notre  Dame,  and  then  came  on  to  Navy  with 
one  eye  on  the  Fleet.  The  Reception  Committee 
capitalized  on  Larry's  congeniality  and  made  him 
its  chairman.  He  carried  this  task  by  sheer  per- 
sonality, and  athletes  from  nearly  every  Eastern 
college  now  tell  of  Navy's  hospitality.  After  a 
hard  fall  of  cross-country  "Willie"  had  his  fill  of 
spring  workouts  managing  details  for  the  track 
squad.  With  his  capacity  for  work,  Larry  will 
carry  his  own  load  and  a  lot  more  when  he  hits 
the  Fleet. 


Sacramento,  California 

Steve  had  a  taste  for  fine  jazz  music,  fine  girls, 
and  a  convenient  flare  for  volts  and  watts.  Also  he 
was  always  good  for  a  4 13  5  mile  and  bolstering  the 
Navy  cross-country  team  and  tumbling  squad. 
He  was  possessed  of  that  vital  sort  of  energy  that 
makes  it  a  short  evening  that  ends  with  the  rising 
sun.  His  presence  was  always  an  assurance  that 
the  conversation  would  never  lag.  Steve  had  a 
sharp,  keen  face  and  a  matching  sense  of  humor, 
though  it  seemed  that  lady  luck  was  determined 
to  trv  the  latter. 


Hill  City,  Minnesota 

Although  he  was  always  being  chided  about  Hill  City,  "center  of  the  wooden  bucket 
industry,"  genial  Herb  was  a  far  cry  from  Bucketland.  Because  of  the  ease  with  which 
he  handled  academics,  he  was  able  to  participate  quite  extensively  in  athletics  most  of 
the  year  around.  Youngster  and  first-class  years  saw  him  snagging  major  awards  in 
both  soccer  and  lacrosse  for  his  efforts.  During  his  other  spare  moments,  when  he 
wasn't  working  calculus  probs  for  his  less-savvy  associates,  Herbie  dabbled  in  music 
and  did  a  little  dragging.  In  retrospect,  the  lanky  Minnesotan  will  be  best  remembered^ 
for  his  inimitable  statement,  "  I' ve  only  had  eight  spuds,  fellas !' '

It  is  a  good  thing  "Sully'  had  such  an  affable  personality  because  he  would  have 
been  a  tough  man  to  clash  with,  in  the  ring  or  out.  Possibly  the  fact  that  he  was  an 
Academy  boxing  champion  during  his  stay  at  Navy  helps  explain  that  fact. 
Sully's  good-natured  composure  never  flared  up,  except  of  course  in  defense  of  his 
1  rish  nationality.  As  far  as  academics  went,  Dick  kept  even  with  that  department,  and 
still  had  plenty  of  time  left  to  drag,  operate  with  the  boys,  and,  in  general,  enjoy  life 
at  the  Academv.

Springfield,  Missouri 

A  ready  smile  and  a  bit  of  subtle  humor  have 
won  for  Dick  many  friends.  But  despite  his  mam- 
pals,  he  still  believes  that  Missouri  is  the  only 
state  for  a  man  and  cant  understand  why  they 
won't  let  him  go  there  more  often.  We  expected 
a  lot  of  Dick  on  the  athletic  fields,  but  unfortu- 
nate injuries  limited  him  to  intramural  lacrosse 
and  soccer.  Although  his  outward  attitude  was 
"win  one.  lose  one,"  those  who  knew  him  well 
understood  his  facilities  with  the  books  and  his 
desire  to  indoctrinate  the  plebes  properly. 


V&dyn  Van  Gut&n 

Caldwell,  Idaho 

Certainly  not  a  particularly  verbose  character, 
Van  must  have  inherited  some  of  the  quiet  maj- 
esty of  the  "hills  of  Idaho."  His  unassuming 
manner  made  friends  of  all  whom  he  encountered 
even,  to  a  lesser  degree,  the  plebes.  His  activities 
were  full  and  varied,  and  one  of  not  inconsider- 
able scope  was  an  insatiable  desire  for  chow.  His 
opinion  was  sought  on  many  matters  because  of 
his  sane,  intelligent  answers.  No  one  can  help  re- 
specting this  friendly,  self-effacing  classmate  of 
ours  no  matter  where  or  what  he  may  be.

"Albie"  outwardly  gave  the  impression  of  being  a  quiet,  shy  fellow;  but  to  us  who 
knew  him  well,  his  gift  of  gab  and  pleasant  personality  were  second  to  none.  Athleti- 
cally Ray  achieved  considerable  success  as  a  miler  of  the  battalion  track  team.  When 
he  was  not  loping  around  Thompson  Stadium,  Ray  was  most  likely  putting  a  knock- 
about through  its  paces  on  the  Severn.  Academically,  Ray  weathered  a  close  first  round 
with  "Plebe  Skinny"  after  which  he  wacled  successfully  through  the  curriculum.  Time 
..never  hung  heavy  on  Ray's  hands,  for  when  the  long  week-ends  rolled  around  he  was 
^always  welcoming  a  visiting  team  (he  was  a  mainstay  of  the  Reception  Committee) 
or  escorLyT5>l^ne  of  his  many  drags.

Although  his  parents  lovingly  bestowed  a  fine  name  on  their  son,  there  are  few  people^ 
who  know  Burr  by  any  name  other  than  "Willie."  Plebe  year,  Willie  astounded  his  ^ 
classmates  by  bilging  four  out  of  five  exams,  and  remaining  SAT.  Youngster  year 
found  him  writing  a  Log  column  and  trying  to  persuade  the  Dago  Department  that  a 
Naval  officer  really  didn't  need  a  thorough  understanding  of  Portuguese.  One  ot  those 
salty  sailors  of  the  Chesapeake,  Willie  was  ever  ready  to  sleep  on  the  foc'sle  of  any 
yawl  whose  bow  was  pointed  down  the  bay  on  a  week-end.

Fort  Wayne,  Indiana 

This  wanderlust  Hoosier  answered  to  many  nicknames,  among  them  "Bake," 
'Vince,"  and  "Speck,"  and  was  especially  well  known  by  his  classmates  as  "the  guy 
who  gave  me  all  those  week-end  watches."  Always  ready  for  a  few  hands  of  "ducats," 
he  sometimes  wondered  how  many  numbers  he  dropped  as  a  result.  His  most  promi- 
nent sport  was  undoubtedly  track,  in  which  he  participated  so  as  to  be  able  to  beat 
,the  Flying  Squadron  after  the  hops.  "Bake"  hopes  to  catch  up  with  his  younger 
sister,  a  WASP  aspirant,  by  joining  the  Marine  Air  Corps.

"Bake"  had  an  ingenious  knack  for  picking  up  nicknames,  among  which  "Stalwart," 
"Sail  Ho,"  and  "Unit  Leader  Baker"  were  prominent.  His  6'  3^2"  and  200  lbs.  held 
down  varsity  center  spot  on  the  gridiron  for  two  years,  while  a  five-inch  smile  kept  his 
numerous  drags  happy.  A  "passed"  master  at  the  art  of  the  pun,  "Short  Stuff's"  chat- 
ter was  as  unpredictable  as  Maryland  weather.  If  they  can  fit  sixteen  cubic  feet  of  real 
man  in  a  plane,  "Bake"  will  realize  his  greatest  ambition.

"He  who  laughs,  last,"  was  the  philosophy  of  this  smiling  Iowa  farm  lad.  Following 
his  pet  idea,  Al  tripped  the  light  fantastic  throughout  his  Academy  career.  His  studies 
at  times  were  troublesome,  but  they  were  easily  forgotten  as  the  week-ends  rolled 
around.  "Want  to  drag?"  "Sure,  what's  her  name?",  came  Al's  ready  answer  and  he 
always  got  top  billing.  "Stinky"  confined  his  athletics  to  company  sports.  With  his

but  some  of  us  still  believe  that  he  did  quite  a  bit  of  cheating  on  the  side.  He  was 
another  of  the  boys  who  might  have  been  an  aspirant  for  the  radiator  squad  in  the  good

a  good  time.  He  will  always  be  remembered  as  a  staunch  member  of  the  "blonde  a

a  Roman  gladiator.  Always  offering  encouragement  to  those  who  lost  faith  in  the  sys- 
tem, Jim  was  blue  and  gold  through  and  through.

Dave  was  a  typical  smiling  boy  from  Texas.  Easy-going,  good-natured,  he  took  the 
Academy  in  his  stride.  The  academic  work  didn't  trouble  him  much  and  one  of  his 
favorite  pastimes  was  bunk  drill.  Nevertheless,  he  was  a  hard-hitting  player  in  any 
sports  contest,  as  his  pushball  opponents  could  well  testify.  Texas  always  remained 
uppermost  in  his  mind — he  loved  a  brown-eyed  Texas  belle  and  Bob  Wills'  Texas 
music.  Although  the  Academy  life  cramped  his  Western  independence,  it  never  dam- 
pened his  spirits.

probably  to  blame,  but  the  fact  remained  that  he 
spent  many  blissful  hours  in  the  arms  of  Mor-

Bill  came  to  the  Academy  from  Indiana  land,  and  brought  with  him  an  easy-going, 
take-it-as-it-comes  manner.  As  a  result  of  a  year  at  Indiana  University,  he  didn't  find 
the  academics  too  difficult,  so  spent  most  afternoons  playing  an  active  part  in  company 
and  battalion  sports.  Bill's  other  interests  were  reading,  puffing  his  ever-present  pipe, 
thumbing  through  and  adding  to  his  photographs  of  the  girls  back  home.  Strictly  a 
destroyer  man,  "Es"  will  leave  many  friends  at  the  Academy  and  find  many  more  in

'Out  of  the  Night"  might  well  describe  Jim's  exit  from  the  Smoky  City  to  the  clean, 
if  somewhat  unpredictable,  weather  of  Maryland.  Always  ready  to  give  forth  with 
another  dissertation  on  the  wonders  of  Pittsburgh,  Jim  never  seemed  to  run  down;

A  man  whose  tendency  was  to  hide  his  light  under  a  basket,  Jim's  true  personality  did 
not  come  to  the  surface  until  you  knew  him  well,  and  to  know  him  was  a  privilege.

Bessemer,  Alabama 

Whenever  a  plebe  wanted  to  know  the  answer  to  any  question  on  current  events; 
he  was  invariably  instructed,  "Go  see  Jackson  Green."  Jack  never  had  much  trouble 
with  academics ;  that  is  until  he  got  to  his  Steam  lesson — or  vice  versa.  Time  magazine 
was  always  much  more  interesting  than  that  infernal  machinery.  As  a  runner,  Jack 
was  continually  in  there  pitching  in  company  and  battalion  competition,  and  earned 
a  bathrobe  full  of  '46  numerals.  He  will  long  be  remembered  for  his  opening  three- 
spades  bid,  and  his  inevitable  response  of  "eso  es."

Duluth,  Minnesota 

Hank  stepped  off  the  B.  &  A.  in  '42  fully  expectant  of  gliding  through  three  years 
of  studies  and  with  scattered  unsat  P- works  he  managed  this.  Bringing  his  Minnesota 
swimming  ability  with  him,  he  soon  found  a  spot  on  the  varsity  squad,  while  divertin 
his  off-season  attentions  to  the  track  team.  Spare  time  usually  found  him  arguing, 
penning  letters,  and  instructing  plebes;  while  week-ends  afforded  him  opportunities 
to  see  a  certain  redhead.  The  Fleet  will  welcome  the  Hank  whom  we'll  remember — a 
fellow  with  a  perpetual  smile,  and  a  ready  helping  hand.

Columbus,  Missouri 

Born  and  bred  on  the  green  fields  of  Missouri, 
"Doc"  made  his  way  here  via  Kemper  and  Mis- 
souri U.  He  could  do  anything  from  sewing  on  a 
button  to  making  a  4.0  on  a  Juice  exam;  from 
stringing  three  girls  along  to  learning  blinker — 
and  to  think  it  all  came  in  one  hunk  of  man! 
Square  as  a  block  of  granite  and  twice  as  de- 
pendable, Fred  will  long  be  remembered  as  the 
little  ray  of  sunshine  that  brightened  Bancroft  in 
some  of  its  most  gloomy  periods.

South  Orange,  New  Jersey 

Jack  to  his  mother,  Johnnie  to  his  drags,  but 
always  "Swede"  to  the  boys,  this  South  Orange 
varsity  football  end  and  heavyweight  wrestler 
never  passed  up  a  chance  to  bandy  words.  His 
perfect  memory  for  forgetting  things  kept  the 
Executive  Department  close  on  his  heels.  "Swede" 
will  be  remembered  for  his  tune  harmonizing,  de- 
ciphering of  intricate  Steam  diagrams,  and  his 
ability  to  obtain  the  best  grades  with  the  most 
day-dreaming.  Deep  concentration  oxer  the  fun- 
nies, appeal  to  the  women,  and  a  sharp  sense  of 
humor  rounded  out  this  mighty  muscle  man.

Jan 


Denver,  Colorado 


Coming  from  the  University  of  Colorado,  "Jankor"  never  stopped  extolling  the 
wonders  of  the  West.  Although  quiet  and  intimidated  during  plebe  summer,  he  quickly 
learned  to  beat  the  system  with  the  best.  During  youngster  year  his  biggest  concerns 
were  his  receding  hairline  and  his  collection  of  women.  Faced  with  the  impossible 
task  of  being  editor  of  the  '4b  Reef  Points,  Jan  screamed  loud  and  long,  but  he  turned 
out  the  best  book  yet.  He  could  often  be  found  on  the  wrestling  mat  or  engaging  in 
some  other  bone  crushing  sport,  but  he  was  a  smooth  operator  no  matter  where.

Academics  were  a  little  on  the  dull  side  from  Jerry's  point  of  view,  but,  despite  a 
few  close  calls,  he  manged  to  hold  his  own.  More  outstanding  than  his  abilities  with 
the  books  were  his  feats  on  the  diamond  and  the  hardwood.  He  brought  from  Indiana 
the  brand  of  basketball  for  which  that  state  is  famed,  and  covered  the  court  every 
afternoon — both  prone  and  upright.  His  interest  in  aircraft  indicates  that  he  will  turn 
in  that  direction  and  doubtless  with  success.  The  Academic  Department  gave  Jerry 
plenty  of  opportunity  to  prove  that  he  fights  best  when  the  chips  are  down.

"Cowboy"  seemed  to  hail  from  several  states,  most  of  them  West  of  the  Mississippi, 
Arizona  being  his  favorite.  He  stopped  riding  Arizona  broncs  and  hung  up  his  chaps 
and  spurs  to  enroll  in  our  Alma  Mater.  After  he  arrived  he  found  that  he  still  had  some 
tall  riding  to  do.  Academics  were  tough  and  succeeded  in  throwing  him  once.  But  he 
climbed  back  on,  and  when  the  show  ended  we  found  him  still  in  the  saddle  riding 
high.  Now  "Cowboy"  will  try  his  luck  riding  a  bucking  destroyer  on  the  open  range 
of  the  seas.

By  these  words  ye  knew  him,  "Is  the  mail  out  yet?"  This  typical  query  indicated 
"Kuch's"  main  interests  in  life:  letters,  liberty,  and  leave.  However,  his  daily  packet 
from  Des  Moines  must  have  been  inspiring,  for  he  managed  to  cut  throat  quite  effec- 
tively in  academics.  He  was  an  ardent  sub  squad  member  until  its  routine  began  to 
conflict  with  liberty  hours.  Aside  from  letter-writing,  his  main  activity  was  company 
sports.  He  just  took  things  in  his  stride  and  continued  to  count  the  days  till  leave.

"Tup's  carefree  attitude  continually  got  him

turned with  a  "black  N"  or  a  satisfactory  re-exam 
— all  to  be  taken  in  stride.  Every  plebe  finally 
learned  that  the  first  oil  well  was  drilled  in  Titus- 
ville. By  nature  Bill  loved  his  exercise,  and  no  basket 
was  ever  too  small,  nor  ball  too  large  for  his  sharp 
eye.  We  shall  all  miss  our  congenial  friend  as  we

New  Brunswick,  New  Jersey 

Luke — that  man  with  the  perpetual  sleepy  ex- 
pression. Perhaps  we  could  attribute  his  aca- 
demic avidity  to  spending  three-fourths  of  his 
time  on  the  bunk.  When  "Sleepy"  was  not  en- 
gaged in  this  activity  he  could  always  be  found 
on  the  mat  in  the  wrestling  loft.  Although  often 
referred  to  as  the  CIS.  kid.  nothing  deterred 
Luke  from  trying  again.  His  previous  Fleet  ex- 
perience made  him  a  valuable  source  of  informa- 
tion. Forever  that  phrase  will  ring  in  our  ears, 
"It's  foul,  insidious  propaganda."

Waupaca,  Wisconsin 

Mac  came  to  us  with  pleasant  memories  of  the  University  of  Wisconsin.  Being  more 
accomplished  than  his  classmates  along  the  romantic  line,  he  is  one  of  the  few  who 
retained  his  O.A.O.  from  plebe  year  to  graduation.  With  the  exception  of  Math,  his  only 
academic  worry  was  lifting  grades  above  starring  average.  Little  extra-duty  was  the 
result  of  his  adherence  to  the  saying  "It's  not  what  you  do,  but  when  you  do  it." 
Because  of  Mac's  Irish  wit,  quick  judgment,  and  prediction,  we  need  no  crystal  ball 
in'viewing  his  future.

Boston,  Massachusetts 


There  was  one  man  of  whom  the  "Tin  Can  Navy"  can  be  proud.  Paul  had  already 
served  one  hitch  on  a  destroyer,  and  he  was  looking  for  more  of  the  same  kind  of  duty. 
He  was  willing  to  defend  the  "cans"  against  all  comers,  although  he  admitted  that  at 
times  the  life  was  a  little  rough.  When  he  decided  to  give  a  rendition  of  My  Wild 
Irish  Rose  while  taking  a  shower,  the  entire  deck  was  well  aware  of  the  fact,  and  could 
hardly  fail  to  appreciate  that  this  Boston  Irishman  was  to  be  heard  as  well  as  seen.

We  suspect  that  Mark  had  a  hard  time  surrendering  his  fishing  rod  and  favori 
trout  flies,  not  to  mention  his  deer  rifle,  to  take  up  a  slide  rule  at  the  Academy.   He' 
probably  promised  himself,  however,  that  once  he  graduates  he'll  be  able  to  dangle1 
a  line  and  hook  over  the  fantail  of  his  ship.  Mark  left  metallurgy  school  with  the  hope 
that  he  could  correlate  future  study  along  these  lines  with  a  Naval  career — and  per- 
haps earn  his  wings  as  well.  We  know  that  if  it  can  be  done,  he'll  do  it.

"Punchy"  blew  into  Crabtown  from  Schenec-

worth  seeing  besides  the  Empire  State  and  the 
G.E.  Formerly  a  football  player  at  Purdue,  Bob 
went  out  for  the  study  team  at  the  Academy.  His 
aggressive  character  won  the  admiration  of  his 
classmates  and  the  "respect"  of  the  plebes.  Bob 
was  a  strong  supporter  of  the  maxim  that,  "A 
lady's  place  is  with  a  man."  Always  a  joker, 
some  of  his  battles  with  the  Executive  Depart- 
ment were  sensational.

The  "Big  Red"  blew  in  on  the  crest  of  one  of  those  famous  Oklahoma  dust  storms 
one  day,  and  after  discarding  his  loud  shirt  for  a  few  dozen  pairs  of  white  works,  he 
settled  down  to  a  reg  life.  Women  and  academics  being  the  two  things  of  interest  to 
"Rojo,"  he  always  slashed  seriously  during  the  week  and  socially  on  the  week-ends. 
What  a  life!  "Rojo's"  attitude  seemed  to  be  "Where  there's  a  will  there's  a  way  and 
where  there's  a  way  there's  a  Ray."

continuous  line  on  the  merits  of  the  Golden  State, 
from  its  oranges  to  its  mountains.  Adept  at  doing 
anything,  Fred  stood  near  the  top  of  his  class  in 
academics.  Despite  the  time  he  spent  sailing, 
managing  the  rifle  team,  and  working  on  the 
Business  Gang,  Fred  never  failed  to  take  time  out 
to  help  a  classmate.  A  natural  wit,  Fred  did  much

pated in  company  sports,  when  they  could  catch  him,  and  was  an  ardent  sailing  enthu- 
siast. An  ex-Brown  man,  he  did  pretty  well  academically  but  excelled  with  a  deck  of 
cards.  He  will  always  be  remembered  by  his  wives  as  the  sleepiest  looking  man  at

on  any  debatable  subject,  from  farming  to  world  affairs.  Al  gave  the  appearance  of 
taking  it  easy  in  the  academic  line,  but  could  get  more  work  done  than  the  best  of  us. 
His  straightforward,  easy-going  manner  won  him  many  friends,  who  in  turn,  often

From  the  beginning  it  was  evident  that  the  academic  obstacle  course  would  hoi 
no  pitfalls  for  this  boy  from  the  shores  of  Lake  Erie.  Phil's  maxim  in  dragging  was 
"quality,  not  quantity."  In  the  field  of  sports,  crew  was  the  main  attraction,  but  he 
was  equally  at  home  on  a  yawl.  The  Executive  Department  managed  to  claim  only 
an  occasional  afternoon  during  the  three-year  stay.  With  his  sense  of  humor,  ability, 
and  determination,  Phil  can  make  plans  for  a  big  future.

the  despair  of  all  plebes,  for  his,  "I  did  it,  why  can't  they?"  philosophy  didn't  appeal 
to  them.  He  did  not  engage  in  athletics.  "Not  because  I'm  lazy,  but  because  I'm

"Ack-Ack"  came  East  to  the  Naval  Academy  to  disprove  hill-billies  by  wearirr 
shoes  and  speaking  "impeccable"  English.    To  his  despair  he  learned  that  the  feedA 
water  system  is  not  as  simple  in  construction  as  a  bathtub  gin  still,  but  he  triumphed  \ 
in  good  measure.   Casual  hog  cartoon  contributor,  chameleonic  athletic,  able  portrait  \ 
sketcher,  fervent  Glenn  Miller  fan,  he  found  much  happiness  at  the  Academy,  whether    \ 
alone  or  with  his  comrades.    His  nautical  vocation  does  not  completely  dominate  his     \ 
avocational  interest  in  art,  politics,  and  aviation.  He  wants  to  live  a  replete,  seafaring,      \ 
useful  life,  and  we  believe  he  will.

Plebe  year  Bill  indicated  the  course  he  was  going  to  follow.  The  plebe  soccer  team 
wasn't  too  hard  to  make  and  he  soon  had  his  major  sport.  Despite  four  weeks  in  mid- 
shipman paradise  during  winter  term  and  a  countless  number  on  the  goldbrick  squad 
spring  term,  he  managed  to  ably  head  the  Class  Crest  Committee.  He  did  not,  how- 
ever, devote  all  his  time  to  serious  things.  Bill  lived  life  with  a  weather  eye  decked 
for  fun  and  with  the  help  of  his  friends  things  never  neared  the  dull  stage. 


Maplewood,  New  Jersey 

"Win"  had  that  valuable  combination  of  a 
sunny  disposition  and  earnesteness  which  at- 
tracted every  one  he  met  including — of  course — 
the  fairer  sex.  Varsity  baseball  and  football  kept 
"O.  B.'s"  athletic  schedule  full,  and  it  was  his 
booming  bass  voice  that  could  be  heard  across  the 
diamond  and  gridiron  as  he  jammed  the  "pep  and 
ginger"  needle  into  his  teammates'  arms.  Nor  was 
he  only  athletically  and  scholastically  inclined, 
for  on  hop  week-ends  he  could  always  be  found  es- 
corting one  of  his  pretty  drags  around  the  yard.

Phil  arrived  in  Annapolis  endowed  with  an 
unusual  seriousness  of  purpose;  he  was  Blue  and 
Gold  from  head  to  toe.  In  many  ways  he  is  the 
typical  Yankee  of  American  tradition:  thrifty, 
honest,  and  close-mouthed;  he  could  be  amazingly 
patient  with  the  brainstorms  of  his  spendthrift 
wife.  Easy  to  live  w  ith,  Henry  spent  much  of  his 
free  time  running  cross-country  races  or  the  half- 
mile  in  battalion  track  meets.  Dragging  only 
rarely,  Phil  spent  most  w  eek-ends  sailing.  Though 
he  hopes  for  submarines.  Phil  will  find  satisfaction 
in  anv  duty  he's  assigned.

Whiteville,  North  Carolina 

After  three  years  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina,  Dave  decided  to  shift  his 
interests  from  physical  education  to  the  Navy.  Soft  spoken  and  quiet,  Dave  was  every- 
body's friend.  He  was  conscientious  and  on  the  ball,  two  traits  of  character  that  helped 
him  to  achieve  his  goal,  both  in  academics  and  in  sports.  Although  occasionally  he 
found  the  studies  hard,  Dave  was  always  at  ease  in  his  athletic  gear,  whether  it  was 
^TV^  football,  lacrosse,  or  boxing.  Our  class  can  well  be  proud  that  it  has  such  a  fellow  as 
Dave  in  it.

From  the  sandy  wastes  of  "New  Mehico,"  Barney  came  a-ridin'.  A  perfect  listener 
to  corny  jokes,  his  toothy  chuckle  made  everyone  else  laugh  with  him.  Bill  took  to 
lacrosse  immediately  on  entering  the  Academy;  every  spring  found  him  playing  it. 
And  how  he  hated  to  lose !  Academics  took  much  of  his  time,  but  hard  work  always 
got  him  by.  Living  so  far  away,  he  spent  his  Christmas  leaves  in  New  York  and  Santa 
Fe  will  hear  many  stories  of  the  "Great  White  Way."  If  popularity  were  the  key  to 
success,  Barney  would  be  top  man  on  the  totem  pole.

He  mimics  Damon  Runyon,  devours  Colliers,  and  gets  a  brush  cut  every  spring.' 
He  plays  handball,  tennis,  the  horse  races  and  the  victrola.  He's  a  master  at  diplo-

readiness  to  take  a  blind  date  is  a  measure  of  his  courage,  we  not  only  have  a  potential

Lima,  Ohio 


Just  three  years  ago,  a  typical  "Buckeye"'  whipped  into  Crabtown,  a  piece  of  Lima's 
famed  pipe  line  clutched  in  one  hand,  a  sheaf  of  pin-up  girls  in  the  other.  Bubbling 
over  with  ambition  to  be  a  submariner  and  to  drag  a  queen,  Joe  soon  proved  that  he 
was  a  man  of  action.  A  lover  of  the  great  out-of-doors,  Cal  led  company  teams  in 
basketball,  baseball,  and  military  track;  yet  he  found  time  to  give  extra  instruction  in 
Skinny,  Math,  and  Steam.  A  demon  for  work,  Joe  will  always  be  where  the  going  is 
toughest,  "giving  'em  hell."

Grand  Haven,  Michigan 

"Smiling  Eddie"  blew  into  Annapolis  in  '42 
bringing  a  fund  of  yarns  about  his  home  town,  a 
ready  handshake  for  anyone  who  would  admit 
having  heard  of  Grand  Haven,  and  a  tendency  to 
speak  his  mind  freely  and  often  forcefully.  Burns 
spent  much  of  his  spare  time  in  informal  debates 
and  bull  sessions;  Ed  can  recite  any  one  of  a  hun- 
dred poems  on  a  moment's  notice.  Like  almost 
every  midshipman,  congenial  Ed  played  intra- 
mural sports  each  term,  excelling  in  baseball.  If 
he  has  anything  to  do  about  it,  you'll  hear  of 
"E.  A."  again.

where  he  soon  showed  his  military  prowess  by 
leading  his  platoon  to  first  place  in  the  plebe  sum-

won  him  many  friends  who  got  as  much  fun  out

Penn  Yan,  New  York 

Though  proud  of  his  small  town  background,  Danny  was  never  the  small  town  boy. 
Unlike  most  fellows  with  a  vengeful  Academic  Department  snapping  at  their  heels, 
he  engaged  in  nearly  every  intramural  sport  offered.  His  favorites  were  always  outdoor 
sports,  soccer,  track,  football,  or  sailing.  Being  Irish  and  honest,  he  never  passed  up 
a  good  debate.  With  classmates  and  instructors  alike,  Danny  was  admired  for  his 
determination  to  speak  his  mind.  A  broad  grin  and  explosive  good  humor,  however, 
softened  any  sting  his  words  might  have,  while  innumerable  drags  give  ready  proof  of 
his  ability  to  enliven  any  gathering.  In  short,  he  likes  life  and  makes  you  like  it  too.

From  the  beginning  of  plebe  summer  Tom  won  friends  with  his  engaging  personality 
and  homely  Irish  smile.  Academics  came  easy  to  Red,  and  he  was  usually  busy  reading 
novels  or  explaining  tough  probs  to  less  fortunate  classmates.  His  real  love  at  the  Acad- 
emy, besides  working  overtime  for  the  Bronx  Chamber  of  Commerce,  was  sailing  in  the 
"Spindy."  When  winter  arrived  he  helped  manage  the  swimming  team  and  first-class 
year  took  over  the  reins  as  varsity  manager.  A  keen  sense  of  humor  coupled  with 
natural  ability  in  most  fields  should  keep  Tom  out  in  the  front  in  whatever  he  under- 
takes.

"Baldy"  was  another  of  the  many  Jersey  boys 
who  filled  out  the  twelfth  company.  Most  of  his 
time  was  spent  out  on  the  football  field  as  one  of 
the  work-horse  linemen  trying  to  nose  out  the 
bigger  men.  (He  was  one  of  the  very  lightest  on 
the  line.)  Torn  between  the  gridiron  and  those 
wild  week-end  sailing  trips,  "Baldy"  didn't  waste 
too  much  time  dragging — until  first-class  year 
when  the  "reserved"  tag  was  removed  and  the 
hops  received  one  of  the  class'  most  confirmed 
jitterbugs.

This  nobility-steeped  Viking  from  Norway,  or  rather,  Sweden,  came  to  the  Academ 
to  be  a  rough,  tough  sailor,  and  he  has  succeeded  well.  Fortunately,  however,  the  roar 
of  firerooms  and  the  multiplicity  of  technical  monstrosities  have  not  upset  his  fine 
sense  of  music.  Farragut  must  share  honors  with  Bizet  in  the  world  of  this  musical 
literate.  "Sir,"  he  would  say  to  his  fellow  protagonists,  "My  name's  Damm,  not 
damn!"  And  well  might  they  heed  the  pronunciation  of  this  phonetic  prodigy  from 
"Joisey."  His  remarkable  eyebrows,  expert  French,  running  ability,  and  his  com- 
placence in  all  crises  should  bring  him  laurels.

With  a  broad  Boston  accent  and  a  year  at  Harvard  behind  him,  Joe  became  one  of 
the  more  bewildered  and  innocent  plebes.  Eventually  he  caught  on  to  the  system  and 
settled  down  to  his  major  task  of  studying.  In  spite  of  an  original  adverse  opinion, 
Joe  participated  in  company  and  battalion  sports,  and  learned  to  enjoy  them  very 
much.  Submarines  and  singing  were  his  two  major  interests,  although  his  vocal  rendi- 
tions were  the  cause  of  many  disputes  among  his  classmates.  Good  natured  and  jovial, 
Joe's  friendly  Irish  nature  holds  him  high  in  his  classmates'  esteem.

Maplewood,  New  Jersey 

From  the  quiet  tinkle  of  cocktail  glasses,  "The

Academy.  "Baron"  surrounded  himself  with  a 
small  group  of  close  friends,  who  heartily  joined 
him  in  a  protest  of  their  lot  in  life.  His  swimming 
prowess  rapidly  came  to  the  fore  and  an  "N" 
successfully  closed  his  career.  He  was  at  his  best 
on  the  "briny  deep"  of  the  Chesapeake  at  the 
helm  of  one  of  our  yachts  or  yawls.  This  interest 
was  consummated  as  vice-commodore  of  the 
Boat  Club.  Thanks  for  the  memories  your  name 
will  recall,  "Baron."

Bill  always  seemed  to  be  the  type  to  have  an  O.A.O.,  but  he  never  has,  even  after 
all  those  various  involvements  with  his  mysterious  women.  Every  couple  of  weeks  he 
would  be  writing  to  someone  he  didn't  even  know.  We  never  saw  anything  like  the  guy. 
Yes,  a  romanticist,  even  though  they  did  call  him  "Gun-shy."  Really  a  quiet  fellow, 
he  saved  his  fire  for  the  lacrosse  field  and  the  juke  box.  Like  most  people  of  depth,  Bill 
.vas  just  a  little  bit  difficult  to  know  well,  but  those  who  did  know  him  found  a  true 
friend  and  a  fine  companion.

Although  the  necessity  of  taking  off  another  pound  for  a  match  kept  him  busy

for  an  ensign's  stripe.  He  professes  to  be  a  "Red  Mike,"  but  the  beautiful  girls  he 
dragged  to  the  hops  lent  little  support  to  his  assertions.  His  infectious  smile  and  sin- 
cere look  have  paid  big  dividends.

"Sambo"  missed  his  calling  by  not  being  a  producer  or  a  promoter.  He  was  prob- 
ably the  most  ardent  follower  of  athletics  and  extemporaneous  shows  in  the  Academy 
He  applied  a  part  of  his  talent  to  the  sailing  team  where  he  was  perfectly  at  home 
having  grown  up  on  the  Severn  and  Chesapeake.  Outside  the  limits  of  the  Academy 
his  interests  were  confined  to  the  future  wife.  (She  saw  to  it).  A  combination  of  hos- 
pitality and  wit  gave  "S.  Linthicum"  a  group  of  friends  that  will  last  forever.

"Luth"  was  another  of  the  boys  that  came  to  the  banks  of  the  Severn  from  high

deck  to  see  if  he  had  that  letter  from  home.  During  the  productions  of  the  Masque- 
raders  and  the  other  Academy  theatrical  ventures,  you  would  find  Luther  back  stage 
lending  a  hand  in  the  Stage  Gang.  Coming  to  the  Academy  with  no  previous  swim- 
ming experience,  he  had  trouble  with  the  sub  squad,  but  won  out  eventually.  Even 
though  studious,  he  still  knew  the  proper  time  for  a  sack  drill.

sports  were  not  for  him,  but  he  was  always  con- 
scientious about  keeping  in  shape,  wrestling  being 
his  pet  pastime.  All  other  interests  were  over- 
shadowed by  his  strong  desire  to  be  on  the  water. 
He  was  sure  to  be  found  out  on  a  yacht  or  yawl 
when  weather  permitted.  To  know  him  is  to  like 
him,  and  many  people  will  know  him  in  his  career.

Bozeman,  Montana 


Independent — that's  "Hollie" — not  stubborn,  but  individualistic.  Both  profs  and 
classmates  found  him  ready  to  defend  his  personal  views:  often  he  led  ours.  Char- 
acteristically, he  developed  abilities  in  varied  sports  and  refused  to  overuse  his  "savvy" 
in  studies.  Inherent  modesty,  natural  frankness,  meticulous  grooming,  and  instant 
friendliness  mark  this  original  "clean-cut  kid."  Sam's  full  of  surprises,  though,  espe- 
cially when  someone  mentions  Montana  sheepherders :  the  ordinary  reservedness  dis- 
appears, penetrating  gray  eyes  shine,  that  constant  smile  becomes  even  more  full  of 
fun,  and  dry  humor  turns  to  mock  seriousness.  There  aren't  many  like  Sam — and 
those  who  know  him  are  sorry.

Bronx,  New  York 

Fresh  from  the  sidewalks  of  New  York,  Don  brought  with  him  many  characteristic: 
of  the  big  city,  except  (and  no  one  could  figure  out  why)  the  accent  of  his  native  Bronx 
Athletic  and  exteremely  fond  of  sports,  he  distinguished  himself  in  basketball  and 
various  company  sports.  Academics  were  a  snag,  but  possessed  of  an  ability  to  catch 
on  quickly,  "Tomato"  made  out  well.  Don  became  famous  for  his  woman  troubles, 
but  the  things  we  shall  all  remember  longest  are  his  great  affability  and  his  big^Irish 
laugh.  Don's  judgment  and  personality  will  make  him  one  to  watch. 


Lebanon,  New  Hampshire 

His  winning  grin,  spirit  of  independence,  and  love  for  argument  made  Frank  a 
favorite  with  all  of  us.  A  veteran  member  of  the  Commandant's  daily  swim  party, 
Frank's  motto  became  "As  goes  the  ship — so  goes  King."  He  exerted  his  leadership 
in  managing  a  fighting  battalion  track  team.  Life  at  the  Academy  was  made  more 
livable  by  daily  letters  of  inspiration  from  Maine.  Conscientious,  sharp-witted,  and 
able  to  laugh  in  the  gloomiest  situation,  Frank  is  the  man  you  want  to  have  around 
when  there  is  trouble  brewing. 


Staten  Island,  New  York 

Jake  entered  the  Academy  with  two  years  of 
destroyer  service  to  his- credit.  Among  his  ac- 
complishments are  his  active  participation  in 
battalion  and  company  sports,  his  earnest  desire 
to  make  every  "tea-fight"  a  jitterbugging  success, 
and  his  definite  knack  for  picking  up  such  descrip- 
tive nomenclature  as  "Soockie."  Jake's  assiduity 
and  his  keen  desire  to  prove  himself  worthy  of  his 
commission  will  inevitably  gain  for  him  the  re- 
spect and  admiration  of  his  fellow  officers.

His  personality  has  been  responsible  for  many 
friends.  Far  from  being  a  "Red  Mike."  Dave  felt 
some  sort  of  self-imposed  penalty  when  he  missed 
a  hop.  Girls  and  letters,  letters  and  girls:  all  made 
for  Dave's  happiness.  A  love  for  bridge  placed 
him  in  a  category  not  of  the  savoirs  and  yet  far 
from  the  buckets.  He  stuck  to  the  middle  of  the 
road  and  that's  where  we'll  be  able  to  find  him.

Dubuque,  Iowa 

"Black  Jack"  came  to  the  Academy  from  the  Corn  State  bringing  with  him  a  slide- 
'rule,  a  basketball,  and  a  two-a-day  beard.  After  starting  things  rolling  by  winning 
stars  and  a  varsity  "N"  in  basketball  as  a  plebe,  Mac  became  a  star  man  on  Saturday 
nights  as  a  member  of  the  Hop  Committee.  When  he  wasn't  writing  letters  or  flaking 
out,  Mac  was  promoting  extra-curricular  sessions  in  Math  and  Steam.  Always  a  hard 
player  and  an  easy  loafer,  Mac  could  weather  any  storm,  for  when  things  were  blue  and 
bitter,  he  could  laugh.

scythe  during  plebe  year,  he  settled  back  and  took  the  academics  as  they  came.  Mac's 
love  of  sports  found  an  outlet  in  football,  basketball,  and  softball.  With  his  infectious 
smile  there  was  no  shortage  of  women  in  Mac's  life  at  the  Academy;  this  may  account 
for  his  almost  perfect  attendance  record  at  the  hops.

.Anyone  desiring  to  continue  the  Civil  War,  report  to  '63  and  inquire  for  "Murph, 
the  redheaded,  "anti-any thing- Yankee"  lad  from  Mississippi.  This  academicall 
savvy  Rebel  can  present  his  arguments  forcefully  as  well  as  both  logically  and  fluently 
since  his  principal  activity  at  the  Academy  was  boxing.  His  other  spare  time  was 
divided  between  his  most  beloved  occupation,  dragging,  and  his  most  detested  duty, 
the  sub  squad.  To  single  out  his  one  most  famous  accomplishment  would  inevitably 
be  to  remember  how  he  habitually  exhibited  a  different  beautiful  girl  at  every  hop. 
Let's  wish  him  the  same  success  in  every  port. 


Florence,  Alabama 

From  the  sunny  Southland  came  hedge-hopping,  hitch-hiking,  high-balling  Murray,

"J.  R.'s"  varied  interests,  football,  track,  yacht  sailing,  and  a  clear  tenor  voice  kept 
him  from  starring,  but  his  natural  abilities  and  sincere  efforts  placed  him  high.  With 
a  broad  friendly  smile,  a  hearty  laugh,  and  a  cheerful  greeting,  Johnny  was  liked  and 
admired  by  his  many  friends  and  loved  by  more  than  one  curvacious  blonde.  What

"Let's  not  study  now;  let's  just  talk."  From  the 
shores  of  Lake  Minnetonka  to  the  banks  of  the 
Severn  is  quite  a  jump,  but  Dave  took  it  in  his 
stride.  His  jovial  nature  and  ability  to  laugh  at 
any  joke  soon  made  us  all  want  to  see  more  of  him. 
Battalion  diving  and  track,  the  Glee  Club,  and 
yawl  sailing  were  among  his  outside  interests.  Xo 
"Red  Mike,"  he  was  always  material  for  the  one-

Never  in  a  hurry,  "We"  managed  to  get  in  boxing,  battalion  football,  and  steeplechase 
as  sidelines  to  his  principal  occupation,  dragging.  When  '46  is  eligible  for  flight  train- 
ing, Sandy  will  be  among  the  first  to  win  his  wings.  His  duties  may  be  done  in  a  non- 
chalant manner,  but  you  can  be  sure  that  they  will  be  done.

Smitty  brought  from  Nebraska  a  quiet,  easy-

mornings  after  church  was  his  only  constant  com- 
plaint. Academics  never  got  the  upper  hand  be- 
cause of  his  efficiency  and  willingness  to  work.  He 
always  found  time,  however,  for  the  daily  letter 
to  the  blind  drag  of  plebe  year.  The  quarter-mile, 
boxing,  and  company  soccer  occupied  most  of  his 
spare  time  between  week-ends  when  "She"  was

ber will  send  Smitty  on  his  way  to  an  underseas

on  the  track  or  cross-country  course.  Being  rather  reserved,  he  preferred  a  close  circle

If  you  happened  to  stumble  into  a  long  winded  story,  you  could  be  certain  that 
"Ash"  was  on  the  other  end  of  it.  Imitations  and  dialects  were  also  part  of  his  stand- 
ard equipment;  his  version  of  the  familiar  fencing  drill — "Right  Sheek,  Left  Sheek, 
Parrie!" — has  become  famous.  Along  with  being  a  teller  of  tales,  he  was  one  of  the 
lucky  few  having  a  permanent  base  of  operations  in  Crabtown.  The  question  of 
where  "The  Nose"  hailed  from  was  beclouded  by  his  starting  life  as  a  Navy  Junior 
and  being  on  the  move  ever  since.  For  all  his  wit,  he  was  serious-minded  and  seemed 
to  come  out  better  than  even  in  the  academic  tussle.

The  "Hackensacker"  hit  the  Academy  after  a 
dummy-run  at  Princeton,  with  him  he  brought  a 
n  interest  for  thir.  al.  Charley  was  cap- 

able of  emitting  an  aura  of  a  splitting  headache 
every  morning,  hut  after  gulping  his  first  cup  of 
java  he  would  "wing  and  wing"  to  class,  to  la- 
room  for  a  feVi  old  songs,  or 
to  his  drag  without  further  stimulus.  Blackie 
never  had  to  sweat  his  way  through  academics, 
and  his  oni\  real  trouble  was  getting  a  good  pic- 
ture for  his  locker.  Choo  is te  made  his

We  used  to  wonder  why  Jim  ever  left  the  dreary  co-ed  campus  of  the  University  o 
Washington  for  the  heaven  of  plebe  year,  but  we  soon  realized  that  he  was  dead  serious 
about  the  Navy.  At  first  he  showed  Red  Mike  tendencies  but  soon  recovered.  A  crew 
man  for  his  own  enjoyment,  he  starred  as  a  plebe  and  demonstrated  his  unbelievable 
good-natu redness  by  going  gripeless  for  three  years;  and  if  that  isn't  a  virtue  aboard 
ship,  you  name  one.  Steady,  easy-going,  and  with  a  good  head,  his  only  O.A.O.  so  far 
is  his  sack.

Another  of  the  good-looking  "Bahston  boys,"  Tom's  a  mixture  of  Glen  Miller  fan, 
dragging  fiend,  and  aviation  lover.  Sporting  a  former  rating  of  his  Dad's  on  his  B-robe, 
Tom  spent  his  study  hours  earning  starring  marks  in  Math,  and  writing  letters  (he 
ranked  high  in  receiving  them  too).  Even  before  entering  the  Naval  Academy  and 
while  at  Boston  College,  this  slick-haired  fellow  made  plans  for  getting  aboard  a  car- 
rier as  a  stepping  stone  to  flight  training.  Three  years  of  Academy  work  change  a  man, 
but  Tim  has  the  same  smile  and  jovialness  that  he  entered  with  and  chances  are  he'll 
never  lose  them.

is  the  undisputed  runner-up  with  his  smile  and 
charm.  Before  joining  the  ranks  of  Navy  blue  and 
gold,  Bill  spent  four  years  at  college,  becoming  a 
member  of  S.A.E.  His  activities  here  were  three 
in  number:  the  first  concerned  a  certain  South 
Carolina  belle ;  his  second  was  dancing  of  the  wild- 
est variety ;  his  third  dealt  with  the  so-called  B  62  L

which  he  was  one  of  the  seven  charter  members.

"Hey  mate!  Mail  out  yet?"  Also,  he  was  always 
willing  and  able  to  add  a  word,  usually  more,  to 
any  bull  session  on  any  topic.  A  good  athlete  with 
a  superman  physique.  Curt  excelled  in  most  in-

Habana,  Cuba 

From  the  paradise  isle  of  the  Caribbean  came  this  Naval  caballero,  upholding  the 
Latin  tradition  of  not  knowing  the  meaning  of  "Red  Mike,"  and  bringing  with  him 
some  of  the  gayety  of  the  Republics  that  we  shall  all  remember  by  the  Pan-American 
sessions  and  after-chow  fiestas.  Though  the  plebes  called  him  "amigo",  woe  to  the 
ones  who  did  not  know  the  main  batteries  of  the  ships  of  the  Cuban  Navy.  There'll 
be  a  fortunate  group  that  goes  ashore  in  Habana,  for  "Commodore"  Pablo  can  be 
relied  on  to  prove  his  well-known  Cuban  claims.

The  cheery  freshness  of  his  talk  gave  Phil  more  friends  than  any  other  New  Yorker 
at  the  Academy.  First-class  year  came  with  satisfaction  as  a  goal  well  deserved.  Studies 
were  unappealing,  yet  he  knew  when  to  dig.  Rag  spent  most  of  his  afternoons  in  the 
gym,  and  most  of  his  week-ends  on  cross-country  hikes.  Classmates  will  remember  his 
haunting  violin,  the  orchestra,  and  the  serious  side  of  his  talents.  If  honest  effort  and 
application  are  requisites  of  success,  Phil  will  achieve  his  share.  Inspired  by  'that  pic- 
ture' on  his  desk  he  will  become  all  he  desires.

Dug  is  the  sort  of  chap  you  like  to  smoke  a  pipe 
with.  A  Navy  Junior,  he  came,  to  Annapolis 
steeped  in  Navy  traditions,  good  natured,  and 
with  an  unfailing  ability  to  bilge  Math  P-Works. 
He  passed  just  one.  For  spare  time  duty  he  liked 
ketch  trips,  girls,  and  bunk  drills.  His  French  was 
excellent,  but  he  impressed  us  most  of  all  with  his 
easy-going,  determined  manner  of  getting  things 
done.  He  has  that  rare  quality  they  call  seamen's 
sense.  Now  that  Math  and  Steam  are  only  mem-

Just  one  generation  out  of  Ireland,  Tom  held  his  own  and  guarded  Erin's  honor  with' 
Irish  thoroughness.  His  personal  relationships  with  the  'Department  of  Discipline 
were  governed  by  the  theory  of  calculated  risk:  "Fitz"  risking;  Executive  Department 
calculating.  With  an  aggressive  defensive  complex,  Tom  saw  that  neither  Ireland, 
Minnesota,  nor  Glacier  Park  suffered  insult  without  redress.  Having  infinite  endurance 
and  an  unbelievable  capacity  for  hard  work,  "Fitz"  manages  to  triumph  in  spite  of  all 
the  hurdles  he  knocks  down.  His  thesis  "The  Air  Corps  is  as  nice  a  way  out  as  any" 
will  have  us  all  looking  for  a  red  nose  over  a  "non-reg"  green  tie  in  a  shamrock  ador 
plane.

Sam  flagged  his  Navy-bound  streamliner  from  the  home  town  platform  after  a  year's 
stopover  at  the  University  of  Denver.  Stepping  ashore  at  the  fair  city  of  Annapolis, 
he  found  Navy  life,  Navy  uniforms,  and  Navy  women  very  much  to  his  liking.  Sam 
was  usually  quiet  and  reserved,  but  when  it  came  to  fencing  there  were  no  holds  barred, 
and  within  a  short  time  he  had  cut  his  own  particular  swath  "pin  pushing"  for  the 
varsity  fencing  team.  As  we  board  our  ships  to  contribute  the  best  of  '46  to  the  Fleet, 
we  would  like  to  see  Sam  as  a  bunkmate.

After  spending  three  years  at  the  University  of

quiet,  easy-going  fellow,  he  impressed  us  plebe 
year  with  his  melancholy,  punctuated  by  out- 
bursts of  singing.  His  sandblower  stature  placed 
him  at  the  end  of  the  platoon,  but  didn't  keep  him 
out  of  basketball,  handball,  or  Softball.  In  the 
evenings  after  returning  from  a  Russian  Club 
meeting.  Bill  would  break  out  his  pipe,  spot  the 
next  day's  "Bull"  quiz,  and  then  sweat  over 
Steam.  Bill's  combination  of  a  logical  mind  and 
the  ability  to  see  both  sides  of  a  question  always 
made  him  a  requisite  for  the  numerous  bull  ses- 
sions of  Bartcrof't  Hall.

"Beeg"  became  known  for  his  humor  and  his  laughs  and  as  the  boy  who  got  the

diversion  was  playing  a  hard  game  at  midfield  for  the  varsity  lacrosse  team.  Blond 
Dick  specialized  in  starring,  but  Math  and  Steam  came  so  easy  to  him  that  his  high 
grades  in  them  were  almost  a  crime.

Fresh  from  a  gay  year  at  North  Carolina  U.,  Luke  found  the  tribulations  of  plebe 
year  hard  to  bear,  but  as  an  upperclassman  he  lived  more  as  a  Southern  gentleman, 
and  as  a  result  felt  much  more  at  home.  A  lover  of  music  and  a  good  musician  too,  he 
confined  himself  to  the  harmonica  and  radio,  thus  having  time  for  shooting  the  breeze 
and  even  studying.  Homer  was  a  one-man  Chamber  of  Commerce  for  North  Carolina 
and  was  always  ready  to  argue  the  course  of  the  South.  Nevertheless  he  was  a  pal  to 
everyone  and  the  best  kind  of  friend.

defends  the  virtues  of  gold,  his  favorite  sport.  As 
a  barber  shop  singer,  he  has  no  peer  as  will  be 
testified  for  by  all  who  saw  his  numerous  per- 
formances in  the  "Broadway  Quartet."  Because 
by  his  easy  method  of  accomplishing  both  simple

Always  outspoken  on  the  subject  of  the  amount 
of  smoke  in  Pittsburgh,  Jerry  rallied  many  times 
to  the  defense  of  his  home  town.  He  didn't  star 
in  academics,  but  he  did  take  an  active  part  in  the 
Musical  Club's  shows  and  Masquerader's  plays, 
finally  becoming  the  director  of  the  Combined 
Musical  Clubs.  Any  spare  moments  were  well 
taken  up  with  dragging  or  bunk  drill.  The  ability 
of  liking  people  in  general  and  having  them  like 
him  came  natural  to  Jerry.  The  most  conspicuous 
in  the  Henderson  bag  of  tricks  was  the  famous 
winning  grin  and  a  knack  of  getting  along.

previous  reputation,  breezing  through  the  tough

U.  of  Maine  where  he  was  a  brother  to  "the  Sweetheart  of  Sigma  Chi."  A  favorite 
pastime  of  Charlie's  was  repairing  to  the  "mat"  to  work  off  the  after  effects  of  numer-

"Solid  John"  is  one  of  those  rare  midshipmen  who  doesn't  care  what  preference

say  about  John  is  that  he  never  stole  a  classmate's  girl.  Concerning  women,  however, 
his  friends  think  he's  due  for  a  fall.  Be  that  as  it  may,  in  "Battleship  John"  the  Navy

"Huey,"  the  last  man  to  enter  our  class,  came  with  a  wealth  of  nautical  education 
and  experiences ;  he  was  a  graduate  of  the  Merchant  Marine  Academy  and  had  roamed 
the  world  for  three  years  in  both  the  Merchant  Marine  and  Navy.  Huey  did  much  to 
champion  the  cause  of  his  favorite  service  among  those  individuals  who  need  enlight- 
enment, and  many  a  bilger  was  guided  into  the  Maritime  Service.  This  Casanova, 
who  claimed  no  matrimonial  intentions,  was  most  susceptible  to  feminine  charms  and 
we  could  usually  find  him  snaking  at  any  of  the  hops.

As  an  Army  brat  and  a  Yale  man,  "Mokes"  had  quite  an  unusual  background  for 
the  Navy.  Maintaining  a  starring  average,  a  full  athletic  schedule,  choir,  Glee  Club, 
and  keeping  his  many  women  in  line  really  kept  him  busy;  his  bathrobe  displayed 
awards  in  swimming,  cross-country,  and  baseball.  Probably  Milt's  best-known  musi- 
cal activity  was  his  membership  in  the  "Broadway  Boys"  quartet.  Forever  tripping 
over  something,  he  outdid  himself  with  his  header  into  the  icy  Severn  from  an  LCI  in 
March  of  youngster  year.  Naval  Aviation  and  blondes  are  his  chosen  fields.

trouble  inside  the  Academic  Group  came  from  his 
habit  of  setting  the  profs  straight.  Chief  claim  to

George  was  nearing  the  end  of  his  courses  in  Laconia  High  School  when  he  heard  of 
the  U.S.N. A.  Mainly  in  disbelief  that  anything  existed  outside  of  New  Hampshire  he 
came  south  to  see  for  himself.  A  freckled  face  and  pleasing  smile  quickly  won  him  new 
friends  to  replace  his  many  old  ones.  New  England's  winter  sports  gave  way  to  varsity 
lacrosse,  but  his  native  accent  weathered  every  storm.  Judging  from  his  social  adven- 
tures and  extensive  achievements,  George  seems  to  have  found  the  world  a  good  place 
to  live  in.

Here's  the  lad  who  used  to  hunt  cottontails  "78  miles  southwesta  Chicawga"  and 
came  here  with  an  eye  that  twice  earned  the  rifle  expert  ribbon.  A  year  at  the  Uni-

who  have  to  decipher  that  cryptographic  longhand  that  goes  out  periodically  by  air- 
mail. A  former  virtuoso,  Mac  turned  up  at  the  Academy  with  a  battered  cornet  that 
has  fortunately  been  inactive  because  of  threats  from  the  "wife."  Athletically,  Mac 
has  followed  a  rugged  schedule,  in  fact,  "Fosdick's  "tailors  haven't  yet  put  a  pin-hold

"Air-Air"  was  contented  here  at  the  Academy  because  he  was  happy  only  when 
sad,  and  he  took  full  advantage  of  the  unlimited  opportunities  offered  to  worry.  He 
spent  the  first  half  of  each  study  period  cursing  over  the  preceding  class  and  the  last 
half  straining  his  brain  for  the  next  period.  He  delighted  in  the  self-torture  of  weight 
lifting  and  partaking  in  the  weekly  rat-race  of  dragging.  Being  impressed  by  the 
"Cleveland"  his  plebe  year,  Bob  has  his  eye  on  the  captain's  quarters  of  a  cruiser.

"Huge"  was  a  great  one  for  collecting  things:  nicknames,  mostly  unprintable;  ath- 
letic equipment  he  figured  the  NAA  could  spare  for  a  while ;  and  quantities  of  miscel- 
laneous gear  he  thought  might  come  in  handy  someday.  A  true  son  of  the  South,  per- 
haps his  hardest  task  was  explaining  Sherman's  "strategic  retreat"  through  Georgia 
to  his  Yankee  wife.  "Bubbles"  is  best  known  for  his  picturesque  language,  his  happy- 
go-lucky  nature,  his  brief  but  colorful  career  as  a  wrestler,  and  his  firm  conviction  that 
Tennessee  girls  are  the  most  beautiful  in  the  country.

This  husky  Ohioan  came  to  us  after  a  couple  of 
years  as  a  cruiser  sailor,  a  real  salt  and  a  true 
Navy  man.  Val  breezed  through  academics  near 
the  top  of  his  class,  and  his  good-natured  extra 
instruction  kept  many  less  savvy  classmates 
"sat."  Football,  pushball,  and  Russian  combined 
to  keep  him  busy  at  the  Naval  Academy,  but  on 
leave  or  a  ketch  trip  we  were  sure  of  a  lively  eve- 
ning with  Val.  We  expect  to  meet  him  again  at

that  soon  earned  him  the  nickname  of  "The

with  him  a  real  pleasure,  for  try  as  we  might  we 
were  never  able  to  get  an  angry  word  from  him 
Contrary  to  midshipman  custom  Bill  remained

This  Buck  Rogers  may  not  have  had  a  flying  belt,  but  he  certainly  could  get  around 
on  the  athletic  field.  Three  years  of  hard  work  on  tennis  and  soccer  earned  him  two  of 
the  coveted  N's  and  stars  to  go  with  them.  Prepared  by  two  years  at  Amherst,  the 
only  thing  about  academics  that  bothered  Buck  was  the  fact  that  he  wasted  five  pre- 
vious years  of  French  on  a  study  of  the  intricacies  of  Japanese.  Buck  is  noted  for  his

Here  is  a  guy  who  could  make  anyone  laugh,  even  at  0616.  .  .  .  His  never-ending 
sense  of  humor,  descriptions,  and  ability  to  execute  new  pranks  have  kept  us  either

him  in  fighting  trim.  "Rah-Rah's"  Academy  career  was  not  effortless,  but  he  had  a 
way  of  doing  things  in  the  easiest  and  most  effective  way.  We  expect  one  of  his  women 
to  snag  him  soon,  but  meanwhile  his  big  brown  eyes  still  have  that  new-fields-to-con-

'"Got  a  skag,  Skid?"    That  was  the  usual  greeting  as  half  of  the  company  poure 
into  his  room  for  a  bull  session,  bridge  game  or  help  on  problems  from  "efficient  Ed.' 
Not  a  slash  by  nature,  two  years  at  Michigan  State  and  an  engineering  mind  enabled 
Skid  to  stand  high  on  the  "sat"  list  when  the  smoke  of  the  annual  academic  battles 
cleared.  "All  work  and  no  play  makes  Skid  a  dull  boy,"  so  he  sailed  ketches  and  played

"Well,  I'll  tell  you — "  and  Bob  was  entered  in  another  bull  session.  Although  he  had 
trouble  stretching  his  frame  to  five  and  one-half  feet,  this  little  man  packed  a  wallop — 
literally  and  figuratively.  Athletically  he  kept  within  his  weight  class  by  sticking 
to  boxing  and  wrestling,  but  this  was  for  convenience  only,  for  he  could  cope  with 
anything  except  falling  hair.  Ambitious  and  flawlessly  efficient,  Bob  did  twice  as  much 
studying,  dragging,  reading,  and  bulling  as  the  rest  of  us  and  still  managed  to  keep

Si's  friends  may  remember  his  black  beard  and 
his  English  accent;  certainly,  however,  they'll 
remember  how  he  made  use  of  his  English  back- 
ground in  soccer  and  after-dinner  speaking,  or 
better  yet  how  he  maintained  himself  in  the  440- 
yard  races  and  striper  race.  Fitting  into  Annapolis 
life  with  ease,  he  nevertheless  had  a  minor  skirm- 
ish or  two  with  the  Steam  Department,  but  never 
slipped  in  anything  pertaining  to  Dago.  Si  was 
not  an  easy-going  fellow  on  the  whole,  but  over-

Proctor,  Vermont 

"Turkey"  came  to  us  with  great  ideals — ideals  concerning  Vermont,  the  Naval 
Academy,  and  women.  To  him  Vermont  is  a  place  where  great  men  are  born,  a  place 
of  honorable  men  and  faithful  women.  As  for  women,  they  were  something  to  be 
looked  at  and  admired,  but  always  from  a  distance.  His  jump  from  the  life  of  the 
University  of  Virginia  to  that  of  the  Academy  was  made  without  much  trouble. 
Ration  points  were  getting  scarce  anyway.  Although,  to  hear  him  talk,  he  never  got

as  much  work  in  keeping  down  to  weight  as  in 
grappling.  The  traditional  Yankee  austerity  was

beloved  boats.  His  enthusiasm  for  sailing,  hunting,  and  fishing  was  matched  only  by 
his  dislike  of  Dago.  However,  even  demon  Dago  couldn't  keep  "Erick"  from  obtaining 
his  lifetime  goal  of  a  Navy  commission.  "Erick"  loves  the  sea,  and  was  one  of  forty-

academics.  Instead,  he  spent  his  time  gathering  the  latest  dope  on  sailing  and  aviation. 
Never  one  to  over-exercise,  "Gib"  spent  much  of  his  time  resting  up,  but  the  mention 
of  a  sailing  trip  or  the  Marines  would  find  him  ready  for  fun  or  an  argument.  Randy

and  his  main  worry  was  how  to  drag  Mary  every 
week-end.  Friendly  with  his  light-hearted  cheeri- 
ness,  Jim  was  usually  in  some  good-humored  argu- 
ment about  the  chow  or  the  current  sports — two 
of  his  big  interests.  But  making  enemies  was  an 
impossibility  with  Jim  in  spite  of  his  arguments.

pull  him  through  many  of  life's  problems.

Birmingham,  Alabama 

The  Tactical  Department  at  West  Point  was  waiting  eagerly  for  "Chauncey"  to 
rrive,  but,  after  having  spent  two  years  in  the  regular  Army,  he  changed  his  mind 
and  decided  that  he  was  more  suited  to  Navy  life.  As  a  gentleman  of  the  old  South 
he  never  let  anything  disturb  him  too  much — not  even  the  eleven  weeks  of  youngster 
year  he  spent  in  the  hospital  after  tangling  with  a  football.  Claude's  intense  following 
f  sports  was  evidenced  by  his  attendance  at  some  athletic  event,  even  when  dragging; 
and  the  times  when  he  was  not  dragging  were  few.

Los" Angeles,  California 


The  dust  had  hardly  settled  on  the  parade  ground  when  that  dashing  Marine, 
"Kid  Graff,"  came  strolling  into  the  Academy,  ambition  shown  on  every  feature.  He 
was  not  to  bilge — he  owed  it  to  "Lovey  Dove,"  to  the  Marines,  and  to  himself.  So 
with  diligence  he  topped  every  academic  hurdle,  but  always  had  time  for  an  argument, 
a  handball  bout,  or  a  blind  drag.  No  matter  how  alluring  his  drags,  he'd  always  coyly 
declare,  afterwards,  "I'm  faithful."  A  sharp  punch  line  and  an  ingratiating  smile  were 
keys  to  the  personality  that  was  Graff.

"Ah,  my  sa>.  These  were  invariably  the 

words  of  Minnesota's  one  man  ( Chamber  of  Com- 
merce when  the  da-.  i  r  ( rundy"  was  a 
firm  believer  in  the  path  of  least  resistance.  I  his

and  the  Executive  I  >  ;  ;irt.ment  never 
bothered  him  much.  With  his  infectious  grin  and 
con-rant  good  nature,  "Gundy"  made  life  pleas- 
ant for  himself  and  those  who  knew  him.

Athens,  Ohio 

Johnny  found  academics  fairly  simple,  espe- 
cially Math.  The  son  of  a  German  professor,  we 
expected  a  real  "Dago  savoir" — but  not  John;  he 
liked  engineering.  Even  though  he  starred  most 
of  his  three  years,  his  books  flew  against  the  bulk- 
head when  those  Skinny  probs  were  too  tough. 
A  sports  enthusiast,  "Big  John"  spent  all  of  his 
free  time  with  basketball  and  crew.  His  ambition 
to  cover  his  bathrobe  with  awards  may  have  de- 
veloped after  he  spent  many  afternoons  rowing  on 
the  Severn.  Not  often  seen  dragging,  he  main- 
tained, "A  queen  or  nothing." 


Bob

Shoker  Heights,  Ohio 

Bob  had  to  choose  between  being  a  banker  and  a  Naval  officer.  While  he  had  nd 
antipathy  for  the  folding  green  stuff,  he  decided  he'd  do  better  on  the  rolling  blue.  As 
a  plebe  he  dreamed  of  hops  and  beautiful  drags  during  youngster  year.  After  a  suc- 
cession of  bricking  parties  during  youngster  year  in  which  he  was  the  principal  char- 
acter and  owner  of  the  masonry,  however,  his  dreams  changed.  He  doggedly  attacked 
academics  as  an' outlet  for  his  energies.  Though  ostensibly  a  "Red  Mike,"  Bob  spent 
his  last  year  wistfully  hoping  that  somewhere,  sometime  the  right  girl  would  appear. 


Birmingham,  Alabama 

"L.  L."  first  became  known  to  his  classmates  when  he  was  selected  as  the  first 
battalion  striper  during  plebe  summer.  Tall,  athletic,  and  good-looking,  he  achieved 
success  from  then  on  in  everything  that  he  undertook  including  sailing,  crew,  dragging, 
and  extra  duty.  Crew,  the  sport  in  which  he  won  his  "N,"  remained  his  first  love, 
however,  and  every  afternoon,  rain  or  shine,  he  could  be  found  faithfully  sprinting  over 
to  the  boathouse  for  a  big  workout.  "L.  L.'s"  one  great  difficulty  at  the  Naval  Acad- 
emy was  that  he  could  never  say  "no"  when  he  was  asked  to  do  a  favor. 


Kell\

Kelly  left  medical  school  bound  for  the  Acad- 
emy with  a  round  trip  ticket  in  his  jeans,  but  de- 
cided to  stay  and  the  return  half  of  the  ticket  was 
never  used.  Youngster  year,  with  the  privilege  of 
"sack  drills"  unlimited,  was  worth  waiting  for. 
and  the  privilege  was  never  neglected.  Aside  from 
a  definite  stand  on  the  Irish  question.  Kelly  was 
easy-going  and  nothing  bothered  him  except 
"What's  the  movie?"  and  "I  wonder  if  she  can 
come  up  next  week-end  ?"  He  was  a  J.  V.  wrestler 
and  although  just  fair  at  the  game,  no  one  knocked 
the  "L"  out  of  Kellv.

He  came;  he  saw;  he  took  a  picture  of  it.  These  brief  words  give  one  the  history  of 
Dwight's  stay  here  at  Bancroft.  He  spent  most  of  his  spare  time,  and  a  little  more 
besides,  getting  life  at  the  Academy  into  focus,  and  saving  it  for  posterity.  Over  the 
week-end,  you  would  find  him  in  the  darkroom,  or  out  taking  shots.  That  he  was  suc- 
cessful is  evidenced  by  the  many  pictures  of  his  which  were  in  the  Log,  Trident,  and 
the  Lucky  Bag.  Truly  an  excellent  photographer,  and  a  great  guy  to  know. 


Montclair,  New  Jersey 

f  you  couldn't  see  him  you  could  always  hear  him  for  Bill  had  the  lungs  of  a  five- 
striper.  You  could  never  find  him  in  his  room  for  he  was  either  playing  lacrosse,  touch 
football,  making  telephone  calls  or  upholding  his  reputation  as  an  expert  yawl  sailor. 
Next  to  a  broad  grin  the  most  familiar  expression  on  his  face  was  the  "I've  found  her 
at  last"  look  which  was  inspired  by  any  of  the  many  drags  he  sported.  Bill  worried 
little  and  worked  less,  but  his  carefree  manner  has  won  him  many  lasting  friends.

"Take  your  troubles  to  Lyons" — from  academics  to  "sack  drill"  problems,  it  wa: 
a  sure  bet  Ken  could  help  you.  His  versatility  and  cheerful  acceptance  of  hard  work 
left  him  holding  the  familiar  "burlap  bag"  much  of  the  time;  however,  he  alloted  his 
time  so  that  a  minimum  was  spent  in  winning  his  stars,  a  generous  amount  in  dragging 
captivating  queens,  and  a  maximum  in  sleeping.  In  spite  of  a  few  Executive  Depart- 
ment forays  and  tiffs  with  the  "system"  Ken's  cheerful  personality  remained  intact, 
assuring  us  that  wherever  he  goes  there  will  be  a  feeling  of  good  spirit  and  fellowship.

Princeton,  New  Jersey 

Mac  was  Navy  blue,  and  the  going  had  to  be  tough  before  he  admitted  that  Navy 
life  was  trying  at  times.  To  realize  his  desire  for  a  Naval  career,  Mac  left  behind  two 
years  at  Princeton  to  become  one  of  forty-six's  finest.  Strong  boxes  and  confidential 
lockers  were  his  nemesis,  for  he  seldom  remembered  to  lock  them.  Writing  letters, 
grunting  in  the  wrestling  loft,  and  extra  duty  didn't  leave  him  much  time  for  academics, 
but  somehow  he  was  always  near  the  top.  Mac's  natural  ability  to  succeed  will  insure 
our  hearing  of  him  in  the  future. 


Los  Angeles,  California 

Always  ready  for  a  quick  game  of  "Ducats," 
any  afternoon  would  find  "Tiger"  with  a  handfull 
of  pasteboards  and  a  pile  of  chips.  "L  A.'s"  vo- 
ciferous press  agent  was  well  known  for  his  out- 
standing ability  to  argue  "logically"  both  sides  of 
any  question,  whether  right  or  wrong.  During 
youngster  year,  "Gangrene"  or  "Chest"  acquired 
fame  through  his  frequent  sojourns  under  the 
table.  But  this  usual  symbol  of  an  off-the-ball 
fellows  won't  detract  from  our  memory  of  Doug; 
if  anything,  it  will  make  him  stick  in  our  minds 
as  a  good  sport  and  a  regular  fellow.

system  were  second  nature  with  Tony  which  ex- 
plains how  he  could  operate  week  after  week  and 
remain  a  top  man  in  academics.  His  athletic  abili- 
ties were  torn  between  football,  tennis  and  soccer 
in  an  honest  endeavor  to  keep  as  many  coaches 
happy  as  possible.  His  "anti"  leanings,  his  fre- 
quent and  tragic  love  affairs,  and  his  amiability 
endeared  him  to  us.

A  typical  Texas  Aggie,  "Bub"  loved  his  wine,  women,  and  bunk.  He  wanted  to  be 
a  West  Point  Kaydet,  but  finally  wound  up  in  the  Navy  with  a  dogged  determination 
to  get  his  wings  and  obtain  a  flat  top  command.  Sundays  would  find  the  "Obispo" 
teaching  Sunday  School,  at  "Holden's  Hole,"  or  cross-country  hiking.  An  easy-going 
field  artilleryman,  "Bub"  was  at  the  bottom  of  a  long  line  of  Army  men  and  threw 
them  all  over  for  the  Navy.  Chalk  up  a  lucky  break  for  Navy.

With  a  one-sided  grin  on  his  face  and  a  belliger-

Academy  from  the  Fleet,  bringing  with  him  the 
idea  that  "It'll  be  rough  and  it'll  be  tough,  but 
so  am  I."  Consequently,  during  plebe  year  Boyd 
was  often  swamped  in  the  Executive  Depart- 
ment's sudden  squalls.  With  a  philosophy  toward 
life  that  was  closely  connected  with  pretty  faces 
he  dragged  often — in  spite  of  his  fear  of  fouled-up 
week-ends.  His  favorite  sports  were  wrestling, 
boxing,  and  cross-country;  his  first  love,  the  sea; 
his  ambition,  to  skipper  his  own  can.

Having  heard  of  beautiful  Annapolis  with  its  gorgeous  women,  he  came  here  and  was 
not  disillusioned  about  the  women.  He  preferred  to  observe  the  scenery  from  a  hori- 
zontal position,  but  didn't  spend  all  his  time  there.  He  saw  his  girl  weekly  and  phoned 
her  even  more  frequently.  During  the  week  he  found  time  for  his  favorite  sports,  soccer 
and  track,  and  enough  book  "larnin"  to  evade  the  dreaded  foliage.

Living  on  the  outskirts  of  "Crabtown,"  "Hank"  didn't  have  far  to  travel  to  the

wonder  what  prompted  him  to  be  a  University  of  North  Carolina  "Tarheel"  for  two 
years.  Perhaps  the  Southern  Conference  yielded  better  swimming  awards  to  this 
"merman."  He  said  he  wanted  to  be  a  chemist.  "Hank"  and  swimming  seemed  to  be 
synonymous ;  heredity  was  on  his  side,  but  the  fight  he  showed  in  the  finish  of  the  quar- 
ter mile  was  all  his  own.  Savvy?  "Well,  academics  weren't  everything,"  smiles  di- 
minutive "Hank."

With  his  experience  enriched  by  a  youth  spent 
in  the  city  of  New  York    Bill  came  to  the  Naval 
'ales  that  lasted  through-

doubtfully  wise  advice.    Although  Bill's  academic 
attainments    were    not    outstanding,    his    level- 
headed common  sense  and  good  humor  will  stand 
him  in  his  career  after  leaving  the  Academy,

Hailing  from  Texas,  "Gord"  proved  that  the  lads  from  the  Lone  Star  State  can  be  at 
home  in  places  other  than  a  saddle.  Coming  to  the  Academy  with  an  engineering  back- 
ground, he  managed  to  stand  well  up  in  his  class  without  studying  too  hard.  In  fact, 
his  favorite  pastime  was  writing  letters  to  Bebe  during  study  hour.  Tops  in  personality 
and  sports,  he  was  never  too  busy  to  help  a  classmate  with  a  knotty  Math  prob  or 
Juice  circuit.  He'll  keep  on  getting  the  right  answers  after  graduation.

Whether  it  was  a  songfest,  a  bull  session,  a  football  scrimmage,  or  a  contest  with  the 
good  old  Executive  Department,  you  could  always  find  "Shof"  in  there  pitching.  Foot- 
ball was  his  O.A.O.  and  extra  duty  his  great  specialty,  but,  despite  the  latter's  inroads, 
and  they  were  considerable,  his  social  life  was  seldom  entirely  obscured.  The  inborn 
rugged  individuality  of  the  Tennesseean  has  a  premier  spot  in  "Shof  s"  philosophy  of 
ife,  and  his  love  for  the  game,  for  the  sake  of  the  game,  is  real  and  vital.  You  can  bet 
he  will  be  "on  target"  whatever  it  may  be.

"Smitty"  came  to  the  Naval  Academy,  by  way 
of  Marion  Institute,  from  the  land  of  perpetual 
rest.  True  to  his  Southern  heritage,  his  greatest 
complaint  was  that  the  Academy  curriculum  did 
not  allot  enough  time  for  participation  in  his  most 
highly  cherished  pastime — sleeping.  Academics 
were  fruit  for  him  and  he  was  never  troubled  with 
the  strenuous  week-end  "rat  races"  that  go  with 
dragging  because  his  true  love  was  down  in  Mis- 
sissippi. A  list  of  "Smitty's"  friends  would  read 
like  a  class  muster.  This  congeniality  proved 
itself  priceless  when  there  was  a  job  to  be  done.

Academics  was  a  harmless  necessity,  but  when  he  settled  down  with  his  pipe  and  a' 
good  book,  it  was  another  story.  Perry  didn't  drag  habitually,  but  when  he  did,  his 
choice  was  a  queen.  Sports  in  general,  and  baseball  in  particular  appealed  strongly  to 
him.  His  activities  around  second  base  proved  that  he  was  no  novice  at  the  national 
pastime.  An  unaffected  manner  and  a  contagious  smile  made  "Smitty"  a  welcome 
addition  to  any  group.

Acquiring  his  yen  for  the  sea  the  hard  way,  Bob  came  to  us  with  that  salty  air,  char- 
acteristic only  of  the  true  sailor  who  has  manned  one  of  the  Navy's  archaic  four- 
pipers.  Far  from  being  in  the  sack  artist  category,  Bob  industriously  applied  himself 
to  all  tasks  coming  his  way,  and  on  week-ends,  unselfishly  devoted  his  time  to  his  mul- 
titude of  feminine  admirers.  He  was  equally  versatile  as  an  athlete,  whether  in  a  boxing 
ring,  on  a  wrestling  mat,  or  on  the  soccer  field.  His  congeniality,  and  sincerity  are  ever 
in  our  hearts,  and  jealously  do  we  envy  the  tranquil  ease  with  which  he  faced  life's 
stormy  waves.

"Weir  here"  was  Bob's  password  at  every  oc-

Mississippi  humor  and  ready  wit.  Bob  was  a 
prominent  member  of  the  pistol  team,  scoring 
more  misfires  than  any  other  man,  but  always 
coming  through  with  a  high  score.  When  he 
wasn't  on  the  pistol  range  you  could  be  sure  that 
he  was  either  dragging  or  sailing — his  two  other 
favorite  occupations.  He  drifted  through  aca- 
demics with  his  usual  carefree  attitude,  confident 
in  his  belief  that  too  much  studying  made  Bob  a 
dull  boy  and  that  sleep  was  just  as  important.

When  Joe  left  his  native  "Bahstun,"  he  brought  with  him  a  no  strain  attitude  and 
settled  down  to  a  full  life  of  track,  cross-country,  dragging  week-ends,  and  record 
sessions,  with  classes  and  drills  interfering  annoyingly.  To  keep  life  moving,  there 
were  the  daily  combats  with  the  alert  O.D.'s  and  the  nightly  battles  over  the  bridge 
table,  which  always  ended  in  a  slam  bid  after  the  study-hour  bell  and  an  unfailing 
bombastic  "Ahearn  saying."  With  his  athletic  prowess,  star  academic  ability,  and  keen

period  listening  to  his  favorite  symphonies.    His  weakness  was  girls,  and  a  week-end    \ 
never  passed  that  didn't  find  "Bab"  dragging.   His  war  cry  was,  "I  like  it  here,"  and     \

Lawrence,  commonly  referred  to  as  "Shakespeare,"  came  to  the  Academy  with  the 
words,  "What  can  I  lose?"  and  with  the  desire  to  give  it  a  try.  The  University  of  Chi- 
cago's loss  was  the  Academy's  gain.  During  plebe  summer  "Baldy"  got  his  first  taste 
of  wrestling  which  enabled  him  to  get  his  letter  plebe  year.  Sleeping  was  his  hobby, 
and  reveille  always  came  too  soon  for  him.  When  not  on  the  athletic  field,  wrestling, 
or  dragging,  "Shake"  could  be  found  helping  some  less  fortunate  shipmate  with 
academics.  Thoughtful,  friendly,  and  with  a  will  to  work,  Lawrence  will  undoubtedly 
do  as  well  in  the  future  as  he  has  done  at  the  Academy.

Mike,"  but  Marion  was  3000  miles  away.  When 
not  at  the  gym,  track,  or  on  his  bunk,  Tom  could 
be  found  writing  those  monstrous  letters  to  the 
West.  Because  he  was  so  very  industrious,  "The

always  ready  to  defend  his  native  Southland,  knew  all  and  would  tell  you  all  there  was  to

"Jazzo's"  association  with  the  Smoky  City  was  far  too  brief  to  remove  any  of  the

age Californian,  and  would  talk  for  hours  without  being  urged  on  the  wonders  of 
"America's  Vacationland."  "Jazzo"  was  strictly  a  salty  sailor,  having  virtually  grown 
up  on  the  water.  His  love  life  fluctuated  like  a  wartime  stock  market,  but  he  had  his

fun  enjoyed  by  all  with  him  on  one  of  those  week-end  liberties.  Academics  held  no 
terror  for  Joe,  having  already  graduated  from  T.C.U.  before  entering  U.S.N. A.  But 
this  did  not  increase  his  lust  for  the  sack  as  he  always  seemed  to  find  something  to  do 
with  his  time.  Although  not  a  Red  Mike,  he  could  not  "see"  weathering  the  obstacles 
to  drag  often  at  the  Academy,  but  instead  confined  his  dates  to  week-end  liberties 
and  leaves.

Academy,  he  played  junior  varsity  basketball  three  seasons.  Not  one  to  chain  himself 
to  an  athletic  career,  his  musical  ability  kept  him  busy  with  the  Musical  Club  shows 
and  choir.  The  Academic  Department  had  few  arguments  with  John,  as  each  year 
saw  him  within  one  point  of  starring.  We  will  all  remember  John  as  one  of  Bancroft's 
best  shipmates.

or  else  writing  letters  to  his  many  acquaintances. 
For  three  years,  week-end  ketch  trips  were  Ted's 
prime  interest,  and  first-class  year  found  him  in 
command  of  most  of  the  Crocodile's  Chesapeake 
cruises.  "T.  H."  wasn't  exactly  a  Red  Mike,  but 
he  preferred  to  take  long  walks  when  the  rest  were

to  excel  on  skates  and  skiis,  but  his  speed  was  plainly  evident  in  intramural  athletics, 
especially  football  and  track.  His  only  academic  problem  was  Steam,  which  almost 
proved  to  be  his  undoing.  "The  Roff"  won,  however,  and  in  doing  so  he  showed  the 
kind  of  spirit  and  determination  that  will  always  make  him  a  winner. 


South  Bend,  Indiana 

Math  student  par  excellence,  and  trouble-shooter  for  Bell  Telephone,  Max  came  to 
the  Naval  Academy  from  inland  Indiana.  His  hunting  and  fishing  prowess  had  brought 
him  many  hours  of  pleasure,  and  incidentally  put  quite  a  strain  on  wild  life  security. 
However,  save  for  the  inevitable  bull  session,  they  were  all  laid  aside.  In  their  stead 
he  took  to  sailing,  and  as  a  yawl  commander  found  the  Chesapeake  to  be  a  boundless 
playground.  Max's  genuine  and  much  admired  devotion  to  the  Academy  manifested 
itself  in  tireless  ambition  and,  more  materially,  in  the  gold  stars  he  wore.

vas  the  most  no-strain  man  in  the  Regiment.  Quite  an  all-around  athlete,  Neil  could

He  also  spent  an  unusually  large  part  of  his  time  reading,  but  still  managed  to  stay

Pleasant  Lake,  Indiana 

When  big  Dick  Fuller  left  his  little  lake  in  Indiana  and  took  up  housekeeping  in 
Bancroft  Hall,  the  Naval  Academy  gained  a  most  versatile  fellow.  Drafting,  truck 
driving,  farming,  and  even  flying  held  no  secrets  from  him.  Seamanship  was  right  down 
Dick's  alley,  and  he  covered  the  muddy  Severn  in  everything  from  the  "Elizabeth" 
to  Buck  Walsh's  shells.  Dick  was  a  man  who  "bilged"  Steam  whenever  he  got  less 
than  3.4.  His  chief  claim  to  fame,  however,  lay  in  his  little  woman.  One  letter  a  day 
for  three  years  from  the  same  girl  is  downright  phenominal.

North  Carolina's  loss  was  the  Navy's  gain  when 
"Attigood"  and  his  Southern  drawl  entered  the 
portals  of  the  Naval  Academy.  Though  blessed 
with  a  level  head  and  a  clear  mind,  he  could  never 
quite  fathom  the  reason  for  the  Navy's  attitude 
toward  sleep,  or  rather,  toward  no  sleep.  A  happy 
hour  was  to  him  a  dream  hour.  Though  not  wear- 
ing stars,  he  did  not  have  any  trouble  academi- 
cally. As  an  athlete,  he  upheld  his  battalion  in 
track  and  water  polo.  There  is  no  doubt  that  a 
bright  future  as  a  Naval  officer  lies  in  store  for 
"Attigood."

on  a  continuation  of  college  days.  Plebe  year  came  as  quite  a  shock,  but  he  weathered 
it  successfully.  With  the  arrival  of  youngster  year,  Heff  began  to  shy  away  from  the 
Executive  Form  Two  because  it  hampered  his  dragging,  and  a  week-end  spent  stag 
was  a  waste  of  time  in  Heff  s  opinion.  Tom,  with  his  good  humor,  helping  hand,  and 
sound  advice,  was  the  perfect  wife.

Blond,  handsome  Jim  brought  with  him  to  Crabtown  his  little  black  address  book 
and  prowess  as  an  athlete.  Each  of  these  possessions  proved  to  be  invaluable  to  the 
advancement  of  his  social  and  athletic  life  at  the  Academy.  Seldom  was  he  known 
to  be  caught  "Red  Miked"  on  hop  week-ends,  and  never  was  he  caught  flat-footed  in 
the  ring,  where  he  was  a  cool,  deadly  performer.  His  drive,  as  witnessed  on  the  foot- 
ball field  and  in  the  activities  of  everyday  life,  coupled  with  his  amiable  personality, 
leaves  no  doubt  to  his  future.

take  long  for  Jim  to  find  the  location  of  the  numer- 
ous Academy  boxing  rings;  after  that  he  was  seen 
constantly  in  the  squared  circle  giving  and  taking, 
but  mostly  giving.  He  constantly  amazed  his 
classmates  by  his  ability  to  make  the  most  dif- 
ficult problem  fruit.  Jim's  main  extra-curricular 
activities  were  writing  to  the  weaker  sex  and  the

and  undoubtedly  will  do  well  in  the  Navy  of  today.

After  two  years  at  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  Bill,  the  small  town  mid-westerner;

earned  the  title  as  a  letterman  in  basketball  in  addition  to  being  known  as  a  proficient 
participant  in  company  sports.  Always  happy  to  risk  a  blind  date,  "Leff"  spent  the 
odd  week-ends  in  the  gym,  out  sailing,  or  on  that  comfortable  sack.  A  whiz  at  Math 
and  an  accomplished  singer,  "Leff"  quickly  became  friends  with  all  whom  he  met. 


Baltimore,  Maryland 

From  the  Fleet  he  came,  full  of  sparkling  witticisms  of  everything  and  everybody. 
Having  a  rapid  calculating  mind,  Bob  easily  managed  to  stand  high  in  his  class  and 
graduated  a  star  man.  However,  his  abilities  didn't  end  in  the  classroom,  because  he 
also  managed  to  secure  a  starting  position  on  the  soccer  team  during  youngster  year. 
In  his  last  year  at  soccer  he  was  elected  captain  and  led  the  team  through  an  enviable 
season.  "Leusch"  had  a  knack  of  making  friends  and  was  known  as  everyone's  buddy. 
He  made  a  way  when  breaks  were  against  him,  and  as  long  as  we  have  thoughts  of 
Annapolis,  we  will  always  remember  tall,  blond,  Bob.

As  a  personality,  Ed  is  unforgettable  because

varsity  sailing  team.  Out  of  the  sailing  seasons, 
Ed  found  time  between  his  amusing  remarks  and 
entertaining  stories  to  maintain  his  coveted  place 
on  the  varsity  gym  squad.  His  is  a  story  of  perse-

and  academic  laurels.  Wintertime  found  him  cavorting  on  the  flying  rings  for  the  gym 
team,  and  the  spring  and  fall  were  devoted  to  sailing.  With  his  ability  to  detect  even 
the  slightest  ray  of  sunshine  (a  knack  traceable  to  years  of  plowing  through  'Frisco

because  he  was  to  sleepy.  Wanting  only  a  truck  farm  and  rest,  "Giz"  manly  struggled

main  sport,  securing  a  position  on  the  varsity 
squad.  First-class  summer  at  New  London  only 
increased  "Webb's"  desire  to  enter  the  Submarine 
Service,  and  we  have  no  doubt  that  he  will  be  soon 
rewarded  with  a  pair  of  dolphins. 


Johnny 


jfoJut.  Michael  Wolfe 

Washington,  DC. 

From  his  very  first  day  at  the  Academy  "Johnny"  showed  outstanding  military 
qualities  which  deservedly  won  him  the  command  of  a  company  during  plebe  summer) 
When  classes  started,  he  soon  became  known  as  one  of  the  savvy  boys  in  the  company. 
Academics  being  no  trouble,  he  had  ample  time  for  athletics  and  proved  to  be  a  versa- 
tile sportsman.  Johnny  has  his  eye  on  a  commission  with  the  "Semper  Fidelis  boys" 
but  whether  it  be  Marine  Corps  or  Navy,  the  service  is  assured  of  a  capable  man.

Rudy  relinquished  the  proprietorship  of  the 
Midwest's  Club  23  to  help  establish  the  "B.  &2  L. 
Recreation  Society  and  Elbow  Room"  at  the 
Academy.  Possessor  of  a  real  "poker  face,"  he 
could  bluff  you  out  of  three  aces  and  never  wink 
an  eye.  When  it  came  to  sports,  Rudy  was  always 
ready  with  plenty  of  life  for  a  good  fast  game  of 
tennis.  Rudy  also  claimed  to  be  a  profound  stu- 
dent of  glacial  structures  in  his  off  moments.  You 
can  rest  assured  that  Rudy  will  always  be  ready 
to  draw  cards  with  the  best  of  them  when  the 
showdown  comes  around.

Sheffield,  Massachusetts 

Hank  came  to  the  Academy  from  the  woods  of 
Western  Massachusetts,  a  true  lubber.  He  soon 
discovered  sailing,  however,  and  by  youngster 
year  could  be  found  out  with  the  sailing  team  or 
bringing  the  Genoa  around  on  a  yawl.  His  other 
main  activities  consisted  of  confounding  his 
friends  with  an  amazing  fund  of  odd  (acts  and 
limericks  which  never  seemed  to  run  out,  or  of 
giving  his  all  for  the  military  track  team.  We  will 
always  remember  Sudler  for  his  wit,  his  corn  cob, 
and  his  unequaled  performance  on  the  jew's-harp. 


Marquette,  Michigan 

In  the  midst  of  every  bull  session  we'll  always  find  "A.  K."  putting  out  the  latest 
dope.  No  matter  what  the  issue  might  be,  he  always  has  a  definite  opinion.  Art's 
other  diversions  include  stamp  collecting,  chess,  and  photography,  as  well  as  sailing. 
Before  coming  to  the  Academy,  Art  attended  Michigan  Tech  in  his  home  state.  He 
brought  along  a  massive  album  paying  tribute  to  the  beautiful  Michigan  wild-life, 
human  and  otherwise,  which  helped  us  while  away  many  a  lonely  hour.  Art's  coopera- 
tive spirit,  and  good  sense  of  humor  made  him  an  easy  man  to  get  along  with.

Montclair,  New  Jersey 

After  narrowly  escaping  imprisonment  at  West 
Point,  Bob  "Jersey  bounced"  from  the  Army  to 
the  4th  deck  of  Bancroft.  "Hey,  Flunkie!"  was 
his  most  familiar  greeting  and  it  wasn't  long  before 
he  was  known  as  "Flunkie"  to  all  his  friends.  He 
dabbled  in  boxing  and  handball,  enjoyed  golf  and 
was  a  ready  fourth  at  bridge.  Bob  happily  as- 
sumed the  task  of  pleasing  the  female  variety  of 
humanity  and  could  be  found  dragging  at  most 
of  the  hops.  Easy-going  but  serious  and  depend- 
able, he's  the  kind  of  guy  you  want  around. 


Hermosa  Beach,  California 

In  the  summer  of  1942  Buster  renounced  the 
shipyards  of  Los  Angeles  for  the  sunny  climes  of 
Annapolis.  French-speaking  Buster  made  many 
a  Dago  prof  keenly  aware  of  his  presence  in  the 
section  room,  and  his  electrical  and  mechanical 
ability  consistently  unraveled  the  finest  Rube 
Goldberg  productions  of  the  Steam  and  Juice 
Departments.  Although  his  somewhat  unusual 
sense  of  humor  made  him  the  butt  of  much  fun, 
Buster  moved  through  the  three  years  as  effort- 
lessly as  anyone  else,  but  when  the  times  came  to 
produce,  no  one  doubted  his  capacity. 


Auburn,  New  York 

Cigars,  somebody  else's  chow,  and  sack  drills  were  "Jeb's"  favorite  pastimes.  Eleven 
hours'  sleep  a  day  was  his  rule.  But  when  the  solution  was  needed  to  some  weird  Juice 
or  Steam  problem,  "Jeb"  came  up  with  it.  Never  did  his  Rip  Van  Winkle  tendencies 
interfere  with  his  extra-curricular  activities,  however.  Each  quarter  found  him  out  for 
something — plebe  baseball,  battalion  football,  or  company  Softball.  He  even  found 
time  for  a  model  railroad.  If  we  can  tell  nothing  else  about  our  hero,  we  know  he'll  be 
a  big  family  man;  he's  always  talking  about  his  farm  back  home,  and  farmers  need  a 
lot  of  help.

Baltimore,  Maryland 

Although  Don  came  directly  to  the  Academy 
from  high  school,  he  gave  the  college  men  a  fight 
for  top  numbers  through  his  engineering  ability 
and  honest  effort.  His  Steam  sketches  and  grease 
shoes  were  the  envy  of  the  entire  class.  Far  from 
being  a  slash,  "D.  L."  spent  his  afternoons  par- 
ticipating in  vigorous  sports,  seldom  leaving  the 
Hall  without  a  lacrosse  stick.  Tall,  amiable,  and 
courteous,  he  had  all  the  prerequisites  of  a  wolf, 
but  he  seldom  gave  the  gals  a  break,  preferring 
to  be  a  chow-hound. 


John  Qdlu  Ganl 

Waco,  Texas 

After  three  years  at  Texas  U.,  and  steeped  in 
Texas  traditions,  Tex  continually  recited  the  story 
of  the  Alamo  or  Texas'  part  in  the  Civil  War  to 
his  exasperated  Yankee  wife.  Although  he  claimed 
to  spread  his  attentions  to  all  the  Lone  Star  State 
girls,  the  volume  of  mail  from  the  Zeta  house  at 
T.  U.  would  indicate  otherwise.  As  a  highpowered 
mathematician,  an  eloquent  Japanese  Club  Vice- 
President,  Tex  never  had  trouble  with  academics, 
played  softball,  tennis,  and  other  company  sports. 
Tex  has  his  eye  on  the  sky  for  the  future,  because 
it's  Texas-size. 


Baton  Rouge,  Louisiana 

The  superlatives  haven't  been  discovered  that  would  enable  "Dutch"  to  describe 
fully  life  in  his  home  state  of  Louisiana.  If  you  wanted  a  good,  long  laugh,  you'd  let 
him  tell  you  about  quail  hunts  or  the  political  situation  in  the  land  of  sugar  cane  and 
Mardi  Gras.  Our  tall,  long-legged  Rebel  from  the  deep  South  complained  that  living 
above  the  Mason-Dixon  Line  had  contaminated  his  accent  monstrously — yet  the 
Dago  profs  could  always  spot  his  unique  pronunciation.  The  Cajuns  had  nothing  on 
T.Jones!

"Cooch,"  still  claiming  supremacy  in  Corona 
condescended  to  put  down  his  "gun"  for  awhile 
in  order  to  draw  his  share  of  "Forties" — that  was 
in  '42  and  Cornell  immediately  dropped  into 
oblivion.  It's  '45  now  and  Uncle  Cooch,  still  im- 
pervious to  Exec  pressure,  has  found  a  way  to 
beat  the  profs  by  using  his  half-hour  after  taps 
rate  all  through  the  night.  Having  our  respect  for 
his  knowing  phrase,  "  Is  THAT  what  it  is,"  he 
won't  be  the  one  to  cut  off  his  sensible  nature  when 
he  reaches  the  "hot-corner."  See  you  in  '53-An-

"Why  can't  they  have  this  place  up  North 
where  there's  good  skiing?"  With  these  words 
Hughy  ushered  in  every  winter.  The  first  snow 
always  threw  him  into  momentary  despair.  But 
his  good  nature  soon  took  command  and  he  was 
himself  again.  Spring  meant  two  things  to  Hughy 
—lacrosse  and  the  annual  eye  exam.  For  both  he 
had  to  train  vigorously;  coming  out  on  top  was 
a  concern  to  him  and  to  us.  Whatever  Hughy 
does  with  the  future,  it's  a  sure  thing  he  will  meet 
life  with  the  same  elan  he  has  shown  at  the 
Academv.

Chuck  Day  emerged  from  the  destruction  and  heat  of  Kaneohe  Air  Station  modestly 
hiding  a  citation  by  Admiral  Nimitz  behind  his  back.  He  had  received  it  for  sticking 
to  his  post,  although  the  Japanese,  that  Sunday  morning,  had  machine-gunned  die 
equipment  from  his  desk.  No  one  heard  all  the  stories  he  could  tell  about  the  ensuing 
weeks  of  rumor  and  confusion.  Chuck's  radio  experience  made  him  a  "Juice  savvy." 
a  rare  creature  indeed.  Two  things  characterized  him — his  even  temper  and  a  broad 
Boston  accent.  His  reliability  and  stick-to-it-iveness  w  ill  make  him  an  asset  to  any

Hewlett,  New  York 

A  product  of  Andover  and  Yale,  "T.  J."  ex- 
hibited none  of  the  cool  reserve  associated  with 
these  New  England  institutions.  A  lot  of  friends 
and  a  one-third  interest  in  "Couhalyer"  were  his 
main  concerns  along  with  his  first  love,  football. 
An  outstanding  quarterback,  he  lived  up  to  the 
promises  of  his  husky  frame  and  alert  mind,  at- 
tributes which  also  made  him  an  overwhelming 
opponent  on  the  wrestling  mat.  But  perhaps 
those  who  were  fortunate  enough  not  to  oppose 
him  on  the  field  of  sport  will  remember  his  Irish 
humor,  hospitality,  and  spacious  cranium. 


Syracuse,  New  York 

Hal  came  to  the  Academy  after  a  year  at  Wil- 
liams, with  a  broad  outlook  towards  life  and  an 
excellent  appreciation  of  the  Liberal  Arts.  His 
motto,  "Work  for  old  Hal  Edwards"  was  occasion- 
ally difficult  to  abide  by;  nevertheless,  his  Barber 
Shop  Quartet  became  quite  famous,  and  his  rec- 
ord of  never  having  been  defeated  in  squash  while 
at  the  Academy  was  exceptional.  Hal  won  his 
"N"  in  tennis  all  three  years.  Always  agreeable, 
Hal  was  happiest  when  singing,  so  let's  hope  he 
can  form  a  quartet  on  that  "can"  which  he  wants 
to  get.

John  brushed  off  an  accumulation  of  salt  picked  up  in  the  Fleet  when  he  entered  the 
Academy.  After  a  whirlwind  performance  of  chow-hounding,  songwriting,  and  varsity 
wrestling,  John  matured  into  a  pre-reveille  slash  and  a  fighting  captain  of  Navy's 
wrestling  team.  Some  might  forget  the  lighter  side  of  John's  character,  but  no  one  can 
forget  his  fierce  determination  to  finish  what  he  started,  especially  in  wrestling.  "Just- 
Call-Me-Bull"  conquered  brute  strength,  ending  up  as  the  best  wrestler  of  his  weight 
in  the  country.  That's  Johnny's  way  of  doing  things !

"All  hands  desiring  information  about  any 
Academy  activity,  see  Hartley  in  4149."  That's 
about  the  way  it  was.  'Arry  was  editor-in-chief 
of  the  Log,  chairman  of  the  Class  Christmas  Card 
Committee,  chairman  of  the  Class  Announcement 
Committee,  commander  of  the  Academy  yawl 
"Alert,"  a  chorine  in  the  Musical  Club  shows, 
on  the  Class  Policy  Committee,  and  had  his  hand 
in  just  about  everything  else.  Study  hour  in  our 
hole  was  never  uneventful.  His  originality  and 
enthusiasm  usually  made  a  success  of  anything 
in  which  he  was  interested. 


Cedar  Rapids,  Iowa 

When  Bill  left  Iowa  he  had  little  idea  that  he 
would  "soon"  be  an  officer  in  the  U.S.  Navy.  He

in  the  reserves  at  the  evolution  of  the  armament 
program.  Via  Radio  School  and  N.A.P.S.  Bill 
found  himself  in  the  U.S.N.A.  Bill  wasn't  exactly 
what  you  would  call  a  social  slash,  but  there 
never  was  a  dragging  week-end  that  Bill  didn't 
produce.  A  Juice  savoir  by  birth,  and  possess- 
ing a  remarkable  talent  for  staying  ahead  of  the

to  devote  to  athletics  and  sailing.

Even  three  years  in  "Yankee  Land"  failed  to  pollute  the  Southern  accent  of  this 
staunch  Tar  Heel.  With  a  keen  mind  for  academics,  a  helping  hand  for  the  buckets, 
a  tender  heart  for  his  pretty  drags,  and  a  congenial  spirit  for  the  rest  of  us,  Nat  took 
Academy  life  in  stride.  Though  Dahlgren  Hall  was  well  acquainted  with  the'  'loot's" 
smooth  dancing,  his  true  love  was  sailing,  whether  it  be  a  quiet  afternoon  on  the  Severn

A  D.C  resident,  but  a  Rebel  at  heart,  "The 
Snaf"  was  always  scheming  to  get  ahead.  Troubles 
with  women,  academics,  and  the  eye  doc  in  Sick 
Bay  kept  "Snafu"  worried,  but  we'll  never  forget 
his  prominence  in  extra-curricular  activities  (vol- 
untary sack  drills).  Good-looking  drags  were  a 
cinch  for  Charlie,  but  invariably  he  was  a  victim 
of  the  wolves  at  hops.  "Snaf"  was  an  outstanding 
member  of  study-hour  bull  sessions.  Though 
study  hours  were  wasted,  "The  Snaf"  caught  up 
as  a  charter  member  of  the  "moke's  closet  gang."

ever  ready  with  Portland's  latest  joke  and  ever 
the  reactionary,  the  Academy  was  the  foundation 
on  which  he  hoped  to  build  his  career — a  career 
that  he  knew  would  ultimately  take  him  to  Japan 
so  that  he  might  find  out  if  that  gibberish  he  spent 
two  years  learning  was  really  Japanese.  That  he 
left  his  mark  at  the  Academy  we  have  no  doubt; 
that  he  may  succeed  in  later  years  we  entertain 
no  fears.

Jerry  was  a  great  circulator,  constantly  dashing  around  in  search  of  either  a  crew  for 
a  ketch  trip  or  the  dope.  Virtuoso  of  the  bull  sessions,  he  had  a  rare  sense  of  humor 
and  could  spin  a  lurid  yarn  on  any  given  subject.  His  black  list  included  slashes,  eager 
boys,  and  sympathizers  with  the  system,  and  these  he  would  run  with  a  merciless 
zeal.  He  claimed  he  was  non-reg  only  when  it  added  to  his  comfort  or  peace  of  mind. 
"King  Jerry's"  competitive  spirit  began  and  ended  with  a  desire  to  wear  the  saltiest 
caps  anyone  ever  owned.

Buffalo,  New  York 

Paul  received  at  least  three  boxes  of  chow  from 
Buffalo  each  week,  which  made  his  room  a  Mecca 
for  ten  o'clock  lunchers.  Despite  his  gracious 
generosity,  he  was  left  enough  crumbs  to  make  his 
six-foot-three  frame  look  huskier  every  day. 
"P.  J."  was  always  active  in  battalion  sports, 
bolstering  each  team  for  which  he  played.  He 
enjoyed  music,  classic  or  swing — even  his  wife's 
jazz — and  played  a  good  game  of  chess.  A  sound 
religious  philosophy  and  a  quiet,  pleasant  manner 
will  continue  to  win  him  friends  wherever  he 
may  sail.

Navy's  original  handy  man,  that's  Ben.  At 
Hill  School  and  Princeton  he  began  his  career  as 
a  jack-of-all-trades.  Navy's  chances  against  Army 
were  very  low  in  the  1942  game,  but  Ben  came 
through  with  a  touchdown  and  we  were  on  our 
way  to  victory.  The  Class  of  '46  needed  a  presi- 
dent and  a  five-striper — Ben  was  our  man;  the 
Musical  Clubs  needed  a  comedian — who  will 
forget  Ben  as  Groucho  Marx 7  Star  man,  top  ath- 
lete, wit,  and  a  grand  guy,  Ben  rates  the  top.  The 
Navy  need  never  worry  with  Ben  at  the  helm 
because  he  does  his  duty  plus.

Essentially  a  person  of  leisure,  Matt  drifted  ever  along,  letting  little  disturb  his  peace 
of  mind.  Neither  an  athletic  star  nor  bucket,  this  Pennsylvanian  dabbled  in  intra- 
mural sports,  playing  battalion  football,  pushball,  and  sundry  other  sports.  Matt  was 
strictly  an  engineer;  breezing  through  Math  and  the  sciences,  but  just  not  getting  that 
liberal  art  stuff  too  well.  His  particular  passion  was  bridge,  and  he  was  always  ready 
to  play  a  few  hands  any  time  of  the  day  or  night.  On  the  other  hand  his  pet  dislike 
was  the  lovely  Annapolis  climate.  Though  slow  to  get  started,  Matt  has  the  stuff  it

Of  all  the  puddings  that  Ned  had  his  thumbs  in 
while  at  the  Naval  Academy,  we'll  probably  re- 
member him  best  for  his  activities  with  the  soccer 
team  and  for  his  hobby,  model  building.  With 
soccer  it  was  from  the  bottom  up,  from  plebe 
soccer  manager  upon  entrance  to  varsity  manager 
during  his  first  class  year.  Model  ship  building 
has  developed  for  him  one  of  the  most  valuable 
accomplishments  he  could  possibly  carry  into  the 
Fleet.  For  his  soccer  efforts  he  sports  the  coveted 
"N,"  and  his  model  fleet  will  certainly  serve  him

From  Western  Pennsylvania,  Jack  came  to  the 
Academy  through  the  Naval  Reserve.  His  chief 
sports  were  reading  novels,  dragging,  and  sack 
drills.  In  spite  of  the  demands  of  these  cherished 
pleasures,  Jack  could  usually  be  persuaded  to  join 
the  invariable  fourth-deck  bridge  game  which  was 
indeed  uncommon  if  it  failed  to  wind  up  in  a  roar- 
ing bull  session.  With  the  possible  exception  of 
Dago,  academics  held  no  fears  for  the  Irishman, 
and  just  to  prove  that  Dago  could  be  bested,  in 
true  Hibernian  spirit,  he  became  the  Secretary- 
Treasurer  of  the  French  Club  first  class  year.

When  Art  came  to  the  Academy,  he  left  his  beloved  Pennsylvania  behind  in  fact

wrestling.  For  three  years  he  managed  the  Navy  grapplers  to  victory,  culminating  his 
achievements  as  varsity  manager.  Academics  held  no  fear  for  Art;  if  it  hadn't  been 
for  Dago,  he  would  easily  have  starred.  Preoccupation  with  academics  was  no  draw- 
back when  it  came  time  to  write  or  receive  letters,  as  any  mate  can  testify.  Rare  was 
the  day  when  there  was  no  mail  for  Art.

to  go  to  Manhattan — just  a  nickel.  He  sailed  close  to  the  course  of  the  average  mid- 
shipman, never  near  the  rocks  but  always  fighting  for  a  velvet  hour  for  his  daily  letter 
to  the  O.A.O.'s.  People  were  his  hobby  and  his  many  warm  friends  are  clear  markers 
of  his  perfection  of  this  avocation.  A  hard  worker  when  the  chips  were  down,  Nick 
displayed  a  spirit  of  winning  that  will  take  him  far  in  the  Fleet.

There  was  some  question  as  to  just  what  city 
was  Jim's  home  town.  Shanghai,  Manila,  and 
Philadelphia  were  some  of  them.  The  reason  for 
this  variety  is  simple — Jim  was  a  Navy  Junior.  His 
most  notable  characteristic  was  his  cynicism, 
which  prevailed  except  when  a  letter  or  a  drag-

Just  ask  him  about  the  skipper's  sack  on  the  nav  bridge  of  the  Arky.  He  experienced

Failings — plenty,  but  mainly  chow  of  any  sort  and  a  deep  appetite  for  mystery  stories, 
both  of  which  fit  into  his  policy  of  more  gentlemanly  ease  than  athletic  glory.  Aca-

Dick  was  one  of  the  Hudson  Valley's  contribu-

he  managed  to  present  his  classmates  with  numer-

Sometimes,  however,  such  dissertations  caused 
us  to  suspect  a  fraud  because  he  possessed  a 
unique  accent  and  drawl  that  was  more  Southern 
than  something  belonging  to  a  New  York  man. 
Dick  will  be  remembered  for  an  active  imagination

sports,  and  a  well-stocked  locker  door.

It  was  inevitable  that  this  lad  from  the  wilds  of 
Oklahoma  should  acquire  the  nickname  "Wild 
Jack."  Possessed  of  a  keen,  logical  mind,  Jack 
formed  opinions  on  many  controversial  subjects 
and  rarely  failed  to  convince  others.  Academics 
never  bothered  him,  nor  he  them;  nevertheless  he 
was  able  to  help  his  less  fortunate  wife  on  many 
occasions.  Model  Club  work,  sailing,  chess,  and 
dragging  took  up  much  of  his  time,  as  did  boxing 
and  managing  the  basketball  team.  His  career  as 
an  officer  will  undoubtedly  show  an  ability  to  meet 
the  most  exacting  standards. 


Trenton,  Missouri 

Bill  definitely  put  Trenton,  "Moh,"  on  the  map 
when  he  exchanged  his  frat  house  luxuries  for 
Bancroft  Hall.  As  a  midshipman  he  has  accumu-

sonality he  will  continue  to  gain  more.  Holding 
down  an  important  berth  on  his  company  or 
battalion  athletic  squad  took  up  much  of  Bill's 
time.  Since  his  interest  in  the  fairer  sex  was  highly 
concentrated  in  his  home  town  O.A.O.,  he  often

Seattle,  Washington 

One  of  Don's  favorite  claims  to  fame  is  that  he  entered  the  Naval  Academy  on  Inde- 
pendence Day.  Very  meticulous  in  everything  he  does,  he  never  allows  a  detail  to  pass 
without  due  attention.  He  is  deeply  concerned  with  the  well-being  of  his  friends,  and 
has  saved  them  from  many  a  headache  and  heartache.  But  talk  about  heartaches! 
Don  hands  out  a  few  himself,  for  he  has  a  definite  way  with  women  that  gets  results. 
He  has  a  serious  mind;  in  his  activities  he  is  assertive,  determined,  refined,  and  carries 
them  out  with  the  good  sense  of  humor  so  necessary  for  success.

San  Diego,  California 

"Big  Ben"  is  known  by  most  of  his  classmates 
for  his  athletic  accomplishments — captaincy  of 
the  varsity  football  team,  candidate  for  All-Amer- 
ican,  Academy  boxing  champion,  and  a  weight 
man  in  track.  Possessing  also  the  rare  combina- 
tion of  brains  and  brawn,  he  could  apply  himself 
to  academics  and  come  out  on  the  top.  To  his 
many  intimate  friends  he  was  known  for  his  nu- 
merous love  affairs  and  blind  drags.  Just  a  good- 
natured,  refined  "Li'l  Abner,"  Ben  never  let  any 
troubles  get  him  down. 


Drexel  Hill,  Pennsylvania 

Ted's  transient  but  gay  life  as  a  Navy  Junior 
came  to  near  stagnation  immediately  following 
his  entry  into  the  Academy  in  '42.  His  scholarly 
attitude,  however,  soon  placed  him  among  that 
group  of  men  known  as  the  "savvies,"  and  here 
he  found  much  leisure  time  to  spend  in  social  and 
athletic  events.  Much  of  this  time  was  spent  in 
the  fencing  loft,  where  in  succeeding  years  he  won 
the  "46,"  "NA,"  and  the  "N."  The  remainder  of 
his  time  was  spent  dragging  his  O.A.O.,  listening 
to  his  classical  records,  or  wheedling  more  chow 
from  the  Academy's  commissary  officer.

"Carlos,"  though  a  genuine  city  boy,  became  famous,  especially  among  the  under- 
class, for  his  hill-billy  songs.  Whenever  a  plebe  had  to  learn  the  "Wabash  Cannon- 
ball,"  he  knew  where  to  turn.  His  accomplishments,  however,  were  not  limited  to 
songs.  It  is  very  probable  that  he  originated  the  triple-decker  bunk.  His  cross-country 
hikes  covered  every  square  foot  of  the  five-mile  area.  Although  serious  when  it  came 
to  academics,  Charlie  always  had  time  to  tell  a  good  joke  or  pass  on  some  hot  dope. 
His  forte,  without  a  doubt,  was  a  natural  sense  of  humor.

him  for  a  judicious  solution.  A  better  pal  w  hen  a  pal  is  needed  will  be  hard  to  find.

Although  he  has  been  temporarily  detached 
from  the  Naval  Air  Corps,  the  Academy's  salt  has 
failed  to  dampen  the  wings  of  "Go"  Daly.  When 
not  busy  tracking  down  the  Dope  on  the  newest 
airplanes,  dashing  off  a  short  note  to  a  Southern 
belle,  or  lovingly  shining  his  "grease"  shoes,  he 
finds  time  to  keep  two  jumps  ahead  of  the  Aca- 
demic Department.  Last  in  line  at  Monday  morn- 
ing sick  call,  he  usually  recovers  sufficiently  to 
lead  the  liberty  parade  up  Maryland  Avenue. 
Watch  his  number,  for  Mississippi's  favorite  son 
has  big  ideas  and  is  headed  for  big  things.

If  you  want  to  settle  an  argument  about  any- 
thing from  bee  culture  to  the  theory  of  relativity, 
just  ask  "Demps."  Though  the  particular  ques- 
tion may  concern  dogs,  tomato  plants,  or  astron- 
omy, he  will  tell  you  that  he  has  studied  the  sub- 
ject for  years  and  considers  himself  an  authority. 
Very  modest  about  his  real  accomplishments,  he 
never  mentions  his  abilities  as  a  track  star  and  a 
very  able  captain  of  the  cross-country  team. 
Meeting  every  emergency  as  it  comes,  he  has  only 
one  worry — that  his  cross-country  schedule  might 
interfere  with  his  dragging  schedule.

With  two  years  of  college  behind  him,  "Dib"  came  to  the  Naval  Academy  with  the 

n  that  he  still  had  a  lot  to  learn    I  le  hoped  to  continue  his  hobbies  of  writing 

and  of  reading  ology,  but  Academy  life  has  left  little  time  for  them.    His  time 

spent  on  company  sports     he  said  he  even  enjoyed  military  track.     His 

"You  know   what  I  just  heard  about—    '  was  usually  a  prelude  to 

sharp  witticism  about  some  poor  classmate.    Although  he  prefers  PT  duty,  he 

feels  that  any  ship  is  all  right  as  long  as  it  floats. 


Andalusia,  Alabama 

Bob  left  the  land  of  mint  juleps  and  beautiful  Southern  belles  to  embark  upon  his 
Naval  career.  Plebe  year,  Bob  was  only  one  jump  ahead  of  the  Academic  Department, 
but  youngster  year  he  hit  his  stride.  Never  one  to  slave  over  books,  Bob's  favorite 
pastimes  were  athletics,  football  and  baseball,  letter  writing,  and  "flaking  out."  A 
firm  admirer  of  feminine  beauty,  Bob  did  his  share  of  dragging  and  attending  the  hops, 
his  speciality  being  taking  care  of  somebody  else's  drag.  The  Fleet  will  find  great  use 
for  this  man  with  the  Southern  accent.

At  times  he'd  swear  he  was  a  rancher  led  astray, 
but  no  one  was  ever  fooled  by  that.  Genial  and 
sincere,  George  was  never  too  busy  to  come  to  any 
kind  of  a  rescue,  whether  it  was  to  stand  a  class- 
mate's watch  or  drag  the  girl  friend's  sister. 
"G.  W."  usually  gave  precedence  over  academics 
to  intricate  plans  for  successful  week-ends.  Sail- 
ing, wrestling,  and  gym  workouts  filled  his  after- 
noons ;  yet  a  yen  for  oratory  and  clarinet  playing 
came  to  light  in  the  Quarterdeck  Society  and 
orchestra.  With  a  shipmate  like  him,  there'll  be 
a  true  course  in  the  future.

With  his  combination  of  personality  and  good 
Southern  chivalry,  he  just  takes  his  pick  of  the 
girls.  "Wespy"  didn't  like  to  study;  he  didn't 
have  to.  After  fifteen  minutes  of  study  on  a  reci- 
tation, he  was  on  his  bunk  to  catch  up  on  all  that 
sleep  he  has  been  missing  since  he  left  Savannah. 
But,  just  to  show  the  guys,  he  once  stacked  up  a 
3.6  average  in  youngster  Bull,  and  for  two  years 
he  was  a  valuable  man  on  the  varsity  baseball

toned  down  a  little,  but  with  the  reputation  enhanced  by  his  activities  here  on  the 
athletic  fields.  Vic's  biggest  accomplishment  was  collecting  nicknames.  "The  Golden

Ail-American  football  team  by  some  erring  sportswriter.  confused  by  the  Greekish 
name.  The  references  to  his  pedal  extremities  came  from  his  ability  to  boot  points

He  denied  it,  but  when  "Jig  Jig"  left  the  Fleet 
in  favor  of  the  Academy,  he  believed  that  at  last

disillusioned,  for  as  a  plebe  he  found  he  was  get- 
ting much  less  sleep  than  as  a  radio  operator  on  a

was  always  ready  and  able  to  lend  a  hand  in  va- 
rious company  sports.  A  success  in  everything  but

"Jig  Jig"  is  certain  to  be  a  real  asset  to  the  Fleet.

Preston.  Peak  had  the  word,  too.  The  Executive 
Department  never  got  any  strikes  on  him.  The 
Academic  Departments  never  baffled  "Mac" 
either.  He  burned  no  midnight  oil  and  the  stars 
on  his  bathrobe  testified  that  it  was  not  necessary. 
A  steady  succession  of  letters  addressed  in  various 
feminine  hands  testified  to  both  a  fickleness  and 
a  charm  that  made  hop  week-ends  no  problem  for 
this  happy  Texan.  The  Navy  Air  Arm  is  in  for 
some  trying  times,  but  they'll  find  it  worth  while.

Bob's  excellent  record  at  the  Academy  was  one  which  cannot  be  praised  too  highly. 
It  was  a  success  which  arose  from  a  v.  ise  use  of  time  and  a  conscientious  determination 
to  excel  I  le  was  soon  near  the  top  in  academics  although  he  devoted  almost  every 
available  moment  ,ht-lifting  and  adding  to  that  handsome  physique  which  we

"Quiz"  claims  California  is  his  home,  but  his  refusal  to  accept  anything  without 
confirmation  demonstrates  that  he  is  still  a  product  of  the  "show-me"  state,  Missouri. 
His  tastes  include  social  life  and  photography — both  of  which  keep  him  financially 
insolvent.  His  brief  contact  with  the  Army  via  the  New  York  University  R.O.T.C. 
made  him  realize  the  "advantages"  of  Naval  life.  "Quiz"  was  not  a  star  man,  but  his 
grades  proved  him  an  able  student.  Although  proclaiming  a  desire  to  be  a  play-boy, 
he  has  shown  himself  by  his  staid  ability  to  be  a  prospective  thirty-year  man.

Fritz  is  a  Southerner,  Rebel,  and  gentleman 
whose  first  taste  of  military  despotism  was  en- 
joyed at  the  Citadel.  Life  at  the  Naval  Academy 
was  not  as  hazardous  as  at  the  Citadel;  conse- 
quently Fritz  felt  that  Naval  Academy  regula- 
tions were  inadequate  (not  his  plebe  year  view- 
point!). Gunnery  and  marksmanship  pleased 
Fritz  and  in  those  he  excelled.  Although  several 
of  his  Citadel  buddies  are  ranking  Army  officers, 
as  he  might  have  been  also,  Fritz  is  not  sorry  he 
came  to  the  Academy.  He  feels  that  he  has  had  a 
better  opportunity  to  learn  his  job  before  he  be- 
gins to  lead  men.

A  flash  came  out  of  the  West.  Was  it  Superman  ? 
No,  it  was  Larry  Redden,  nicknamed  "Rudolph" 
by  some  bantering  friends.  Larry  left  Pasadena's 
sun-kissed  hills  and  moon-kissed  maidens  for  new 
adventure  in  thp  East.  Excelling  in  academics 
and  wrestling,  he  found  success  as  a  man  of  his 
calibre  always  will,  but  he  found  the  Naval  Acad- 
emy brand  of  adventure  somewhat  tame.  Red- 
den, unlike  most  of  his  brethren  from  California, 
was  not  the  mouthpiece  for  his  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. Larry  will  be  remembered  for  his  good 
humor,  flashing  smile,  and  variety  of  drags.

From  the  "Boro"  via  Georgia  Tech  came  our 
restless,  versatile,  blue-eyed  boy  with  the  deep 
Southern  accent.  "Sandy,"  always  going  but 
never  knowing  just  where,  usually  spent  his  week- 
ends at  the  "Cottage  by  the  Bay."  His  good  work 
and  natural  ability  landed  him  the  important 
position  of  circulation  manager  of  our  Lucky 
Bag.  "Sandy,"  a  true  son  of  the  South,  either 
knew  everyone  or  something  about  everyone  from 
Georgia.  His  winning  personality  gained  the 
friendship  of  all,  and  his  Southern  belles  truly 
proved  his  favorite  saying,  "I'm  no  pushover, 
but  I  can  be  had."

On  a  typical  California  day,  "Scof"  departed 
from  the  enjoyable  life  of  a  Sacramento  Junior 
College  student  and  started,  with  the  help  of  God 
and  his  thumb,  for  Annapolis.  Since  then,  his 
life  has  been  a  continuous  series  of  new  dreams 
and  feats,  from  fur  farms  to  cockroach  races.  A 
fond  sportsman  and  nature  lover,  he  created  an 
interest  which  academics  had  some  difficulty  in 
dislodging.  The  four  things  "Beech"  really  excelled 
in  were  high  jumping,  wrestling,  escorting  beauti- 
ful girls  on  rainy  week-ends,  and  thoroughly 
enjoying  himself  whatever  the  occasion.

"We"  is  an  old  Navy  man  with  a  previous  service  record  of  two  years  as  a  Fleet 
radioman.  He  was  well  on  the  way  toward  making  chief  when  recommended  for  a 
tour  of  duty  at  the  Naval  Academy.  Amiable,  unassuming,  good  natured,  and  in- 
auspiciously  efficient,  "We"  has  saved  many  a  first-class  pay  receipt  from  going  to 
waste  on  radio  repairs.  There  is  a  special  place  in  his  heart  for  communications,  shore 
duty,  and  a  little  girl  in  "Dreamsville,"  Ohio.  Undersea  craft  lure  him  strongly  and 
the  Submarine  Service  will  claim  him  as  its  own.

Out  of  the  confusion  which  reigned  in  dear  old 
Bancroft  due  to  identical  twins,  one  in  '44  and  one 
in  '46,  emerged  the  acme  of  patience.  "Tis"  took 
many  a  hefty  clap  on  the  back  thrown  his  way  by 
confused  youngsters  and  first  class  with  but  a 
gentle  sigh.  With  the  coming  of  the  "diagonal" 
and  the  going  of  "Chuck,"  "Tis"  was  free — no 
more,  "Hello  Chuck,"  no  more,  "Jeeze,  did  they 
turn  you  back  to  a  plebe?"  Sailing  was  his  sport — 
being  so  close  to  the  water  reminded  him  of  home, 
of  that  high  wet  Oregon  fog.

For  a  smooth  operator  from  way  back,  "Trav" 
is  the  man.  Fresh  from  the  wilds  of  Oklahoma,  he 
expected  a  country  club ;  instead,  he  got  the  bitter 
truth.  Floored  but  not  out,  he  came  back  to  make 
the  most  of  dragging  (with  an  O.A.O.'s  reluctant 
permission),  sailing,  and  boxing  with  wonderful 
results.  Yet  always  a  man  of  duty,  Carl  under- 
stood his  purpose  here  and  excelled  in  the  aca- 
demic and  professional  side  of  his  new  life.  One 
of  the  best  liked  men  in  the  company,  "Trav" 
with  his  humor,  tact,  and  ready  smile  will  be  wel- 
comed as  "one  of  the  boys"  wherever  he  goes.

still  hopes  to  be  a  doctor.  He  didn't  drag  much,  but  "E-squared"  was  definitely  "the 
kid  with  the  Colgate  smile"  when  he  turned  on  the  personality.  Earl's  chief  interests 
were  tennis,  chess,  a  little  girl  back  home,  and  hitting  the  old  books.  We'll  always

saying,  "Math  is  fruit"  as  he  hit  his  sack  or  dashed 
off  a  letter  to  one  of  his  long  list  of  feminine  cor-

some  boxing,  but  an  injury  during  plebe  year

changed  to  yawl  sailing,  in  which,  during  young-

was  strictly  taboo  and  strangers  were  warned  not

his  three  years  of  college  were  for  an  engineering  career.  "Baby  Dumpling's"  biggest 
disappointment  came  when  old  injuries  prevented  his  playing  football  here  after  plebe

and  lived  for  that  leave  when  he  could  journey

that  daily  letter.  His  ambition  was  to  go  through

saw  action  in  several  intramural  sports.  Somehow  he  found  time  to  include  more  than 
his  share  of  dragging  among  his  many  activities.  The  last  three  years  haven't  damp-

Hailing  from  Michigan's  northern  peninsula, 
Bob  was  headed  for  an  engineering  career  until 
the  Navy  bug  got  into  his  blood  and  he  joined  the 
Severn  clan.  Academics  rarely  offered.  Bob  any 
trouble,  and  being  athletically  inclined  he  found 
ample  time  for  battalion  track  and  football. 
"R.  F."  was  an  earnest  admirer  of  the  exploits  of 
the  "tin-can"  navy,  and  his  big  ambition  is  to 
someday  find  himself  on  the  bridge  of  his  own  de- 
stroyer. Having  a  good  sense  of  humor  and  an 
abundance  of  ability,  Bob  will  always  be  found  on 
that  "prefer  to  have"  list.

In  1848  California  conquered  the  nation.  Ninety 
four  years  later  Bill  began  the  second  skirmish  by 
offering  three  sandy  acres  complete  with  fog  to 
Bancroft  settlers  headed  for  the  Golden  West. 
With  the  first  days  of  youngster  year  this  offer  was 
withdrawn  to  make  way  for  a  permanent  siesta. 
It's  doubtful  if  anyone  will  ever  again  graduate 
after  snoozing  through  the  whole  course.  Bill  was 
awake  only  during  dragging  week-ends  or  those 
infrequent  happy  hours  when  he  sat  snowed  under 
by  his  stamp  collection.  For  sports,  he  had  three 
years  of  finger  exercise  on  the  rifle  team.

eternal  smile,  and  the  mate  with  the  mail — at  least  five  letters  a  day — he  came  out  on 
top  after  three  years  at  the  Academy.  His  routine  consisted  of  a  little  dragging,  sports, 
sack  drill,  some  well  directed  study,  and  all  the  rest  that  goes  to  make  up  a  regular 
fellow  who  will  be  an  asset  wherever  he  goes.  His  only  worry  was  how  to  keep  a  beehive

During  the  past  three  years  Tom  has  tried  out 
and  proved  the  old  doctrine  of  divided-interests. 
He  did  not  deprive  the  primary  purpose  of  the 
Academy  its  due  consideration,  and  consequently 
he  is  mustered  with  the  upper  crust  in  the  aca- 
demic records.  Some  workout  each  day  was  a  reg- 
ular part  of  Tom's  routine,  and  the  varsity  lacrosse 
squad  claimed  his  attention  during  the  practice 
season.  The  stripes  that  Tom  held  during  his  first 
and  third  class  years  testify  for  the  qualities  that 
held  the  respect  and  admiration  of  his  seniors  and 
juniors  alike.  We  envy  the  men  that  will  serve 
with  you,  Tom.

When  "Poop  Deck"  wasn't  sailing  on  the  High-

enjoying  liberties  at  his  home  in  town,  or  snapping 
pictures  of  anything  and  everything.  "A.  I."  had 
his  tussles  with  the  "Acs,"  but  when  the  smoke 
cleared,  he  was  always  aboard.  He  kept  the  O.D.'s 
and  his  wife  guessing,  but  his  skirmishes  with 
Form  2's  left  a  good  average  on  his  side.  Back 
from  wrestling,  sailing  practice,  or  liberty,  with 
three  minutes  to  finish  a  shower  and  make  forma-

passed  up.  His  favorite  food  and  topic  of  con-

A  quirk  of  fate  bestowed  a  definite  Yankee  accent

lay  in  crowding  the  room  to  the  threshold,  feeding

Although  coming  from  Chicago,  John  loved  the  wide  open  spaces.  It  prompted  him 
to  join  the  Navy  and  become  a  radioman  before  entering  the  Academy.  A  radio  "ham," 
John  spent  his  spare  time  tinkering  with  his  mysteriously  inoperative  set.  He  was 
always  a  star  man,  but  a  more  modest  fellow  was  hard  to  find.  To  have  him  for  a  room-

friendly,  John  won  the  admiration  and  respect  of  all  of  his  associates.  The  days  ahead

found  sailing  his  biggest  interest.  He  spent  a  lot 
of  time  on  swimming  teams  and,  incidentally,  led 
quite  a  few  cheers.  There  can  be  no  better  place

ing on  the  merits  of  his  home  state.  A  connoisseur 
of  4.0  drags,  he  had  only  the  best.  And  now  as  he

quarterbacked  the  battalion  football  team,  in  the  winter  basketball  was  his  sport, 
and  when  spring  rolled  around  he  was  out  on  the  diamond  playing  shortstop  or  second 
base.  But  during  any  season  one  could  always  hear  "X  lid's"  tenor  voice  hanging  on  to 
those  high  notes  while  his  musical  wives  harmonized  on  the  lower  parts.

Mankato,  Minnesota 

How  Ken  managed  to  date  so  many  beautiful 
drags  during  his  three  years  beside  the  Bay  is  still 
a  mystery  to  most  of  us.  However,  his  favorite 
diversion  was  correspondence  with  that  certain 
young  lady  who  wears  his  miniature.  Hotly-con- 
tested bridge  games,  reading  the  hometown  paper, 
and  shooting  the  breeze  took  up  any  remaining 
spare  time.  Membership  on  the  Press  Detail 
earned  him  many  enviable  trips  with  the  football 
squad.  His  one  regret  was  that  the  Navy  team 
never  scheduled  a  game  in  Southern  California, 
where  he  plans  someday  to  make  his  home.

Mondovi,  Wisconsin 

And  end  run?  A  line  buck?  Sure,  "Russ"  could 
do  it.  And  basketball?  Of  course,  another  Owen 
special.  How  about  anything  in  sports ?  You  bet! 
Yes,  Mondovi's  son  will  be  best  remembered  as 
a  versatile  sporting  man.  Along  with  athletic  abil- 
ity he  carried  a  waggish  good  nature  accented  with 
a  ready  smile.  Socially  he  could  be  classed  as 
cautious,  for  he  rarely  risked  the  perils  of  a  blind 
date.  Then  as  a  hobby,  he  studied,  quietly  work- 
ing with  a  determination  of  his  own.  We  cheered 
his  deeds  at  the  Academy,  and  we're  prepared  to 
continue  cheering.  Keep  plugging,  Bud !

From  his  home  port  he  came  to  Crabtown;  plain,  pleasing,  and  unaffected  "J.  P." 
Anyone  who  could  smile  on  Monday  morning,  become  interested  in  an  afternoon 
Steam  drill,  or  be  perpetually  enthusiastic  on  a  variety  of  subjects  amid  studies  and 
sports,  sparingly  punctuated  with  demerits  and  dragging,  must  be  a  derivative  of 
"B-i ."  We  sometimes  wondered  about  John,  but  his  happy  hours  of  sack  drill  broke 
some  illusions.  If  any  one  topic  ever  has  to  absorb  all  those  ergs  of  energy,  John's 
doomed  to  success,  even  though  it  be  something  as  baffling  as  the  mysteries  of  Juice.

"Shoe,"  the  salt  who  beat  the  age  limit  by  9 
days,  came  to  the  Academy  from  N.A.P.S.  in 
Norfolk.  When  asked  if  he's  a  Yankee  or  a  Rebel 
he  said,  "I  did  two  years  duty  in  Panama  so  you 
can  just  call  me  a  Panamanian."  It  seems  that 
the  Navy  taught  "Shoe"  a  new  philosophy  of  life. 
He  assured  us  that  on  the  U.S.S.  Lapwing  he 
learned  to  get  along  with  the  least  work  and  to 
take  full  advantage  of  liberty.  Once  a  great  sports 
enthusiast,  "Shoe's"  Fleet  duty  cramped  his  style; 
but  he  managed  to  stand  his  ground  in  company 
sports.

From  the  moss  and  mist  of  the  South  Carolina 
swamps  came  Jimmy  John.  Laying  down  his 
squirrel  gun  and  fishing  pole,  Jim  picked  up  a 
rifle  and  marched  his  way  through  two  military 
schools  before  becoming  a  midshipman.  In  sports 
Jim's  favorite  activity  was  working  on  the  hori- 
zontal bar,  but  he  was  tricky  with  an  epee  in  fen- 
cing also.  Whenever  you  wanted  Simp,  you  could 
usually  find  him  in  the  midst  of  a  bull  session. 
Here  his  own  peculiar  understanding  of  philoso- 
phy and  his  ideas  of  organization,  politics,  and 
religion  usually  provoked  a  good  debate.

of  sports  or  his  social  obligations  and  liberty.  In  addition  to  playing  varsity  lacrosse. 
Ray  was  a  regular  member  of  the  Light's  racing  crew  for  two  years.  The  Navy  loses

Wayne,  Jijahnasi  SwanAan 

Fort  Morgan,  Colorado 

Although  not  a  Red  Mike  at  heart,  this  son  of 
Sweden  usually  found  dragging  "too  much  trou- 
ble." His  chief  week-end  interest  was  "seein'  the 
shows  with  the  boys."  "Rock"  came  to  Annapolis 
straight  from  high  school,  but  had  little  trouble 
keeping  right  on  the  heels  of  the  brains  in  his  class. 
According  to  this  sack  drill  artist,  a  few  months  of 
prep  school  in  Southern  California  convinced  him 
that  the  land  of  perpetual  sunshine  is  almost  as 
nice  as  Colorado.  A  winning  smile  and  a  cheery 
disposition,  plus  brains  and  brawn,  forecast  smooth 
sailing  for  "Rock"  on  any  sea. 


Hemet,  California 

Right  from  sunny  California  Bob  entered  the 
Academy  from  high  school.  In  spite  of  this  dis- 
advantage, academics  were  easy  enough  for  him, 
except  for  youngster  Steam,  which  perpetually 
kept  him  throwing  pennies  at  Tecumseh.  Between 
shooting  the  breeze  and  occasionally  philosophi- 
zing on  the  virtues  of  the  Executive  Department, 
"Tuck"  spent  the  remainder  of  his  spare  time 
speculating  on  the  future,  engaging  in  tennis,  or 
dragging.  In  the  realm  of  international  events  and 
diplomacy,  "Tuck"  was  extremely  well  read,  and 
was  always  ready  to  expound  his  views. 


Calvert,  Texas 

"Spot  One"  tried  to  prove  to  everyone  in  the  Naval  Academy  at  one  time  or  another 
that  Texas  annexed  the  Union,  with  varying  success.  Among  his  accomplishments 
were  playing  a  top  game  of  pushball,  swinging  a  mean  foot  (133^)  in  company  soccer, 
and  speaking  Spanish  with  a  Texas  accent.  His  morale  varied  directly  as  the  number 
of  letters  he  received  from  his  "little  women,"  but  nevertheless  his  humor  always 
worked  a  charm  on  any  low-spirited  friend.  "Colonel's"  chief  asset  is  his  amiability 
and  his  ready  companionship,  traits  which  will  always  make  him  a  firm  friend.

Most  Southerners  like  to  take  things  easy  and 
leave  the  hustle  and  bustle  to  the  Yankees,  but 
R.  J.  never  seemed  to  have  the  word.  He  was 
always  bubbling  over  with  energy  for  his  hobbies, 
photography  and  dragging.  His  job  as  coxswain 
on  the  crew  squad  was  the  only  thing  that  would 
tear  him  away  from  a  darkroom  or  one  of  his  beau- 
tiful drags.  Academics  weren't  easy,  but  he  made 
it  with  plenty  to  spare.  That's  the  way  it  will 
always  be  with  Whitey.  After  graduation,  with 
a  bit  of  sea  duty  under  his  belt,  Bob  will  probably 
head  for  Pensacola  and  Naval  Aviation.

The  big  lug  with  the  curly  hair  and  the  per- 
petual grin  was  Willie,  who  really  got  this  romance 
stuff.  As  he  quaintly  phrased  it,  "dragging  is  my 
major  sport."  Few  were  the  week-ends  that  Betty 
and  her  Buick  weren't  in  evidence.  Willie  gave 
up  a  promising  career  in  basketball  because  it  con- 
flicted with  his  major  interest.  However,  he  found 
ample  time  on  weekdays  to  support  the  sports 
program.  The  one  sport  he  did  not  enjoy  was 
wrestling — with  academics,  the  Executive  De- 
partment, and  eye  charts.  But  he  won  all  his 
bouts.  Good  luck,  Willie !  Keep  on  winning !

Joe  brought  along  with  him  that  old  "Southern  gentleman"  personality — minus  the 
drawl.  Easy  going  and  carefree,  his  only  worry  concerned  the  straightening  out  of  his 
numerous  dragging  adventures.  This  former  "Ramblin"  Wreck"  never  bothered  with 
academics — always  reading,  writing,  or  holding  his  own  in  a  good  bull  session.  If 
you  could  overpower  the  strong  affinity  he  had  for  his  sack,  he  could  always  give  you 
a  mighty  good  set  of  tennis  or  help  set  your  opponents  in  bridge.  He  was  truly  one  of 
the  boys — a  fellow  whose  knack  in  winning  friends  was  only  surpassed  by  his  ability 
to  keep  them.

women  to  weep  bitter  tears  and  to  retire  com-

Jack  arrived  at  the  Academy  after  spending  two

men,  and  every  night  found  some  of  the  buckets 
in  his  room  getting  enlightenment  in  academic 
affairs.  Southern  inertia  led  Jack  to  spend  most 
of  his  afternoons  in  a  quiet  bridge  game  or  in

brought  with  him  a  ready  quip  and  a  vast  knowl- 
edge of  Bull.  Classmates  recognized  his  ability, 
elected  Jim  company  representative.  Typical 
politician,  he  never  took  a  stand  on  anything,  be- 
lieving inconsistency  the  best  policy.  His  ring 
style  made  boxing  a  gentleman's  sport,  and  friends 
dubbed  him  "Horizontal  Harris."  Headquarters 
for  company  activity,  his  room  was  always  the 
scene  of  violent  discussions  on  anything  from  the 
week-end  drag  to  destroyer  duty.

Stevie  hadn't  been  around  much  before  he  entered  the  Academy,  but  he  was  able  to 
learn  fast.  His  congenial  smile  and  innocent  appearance  stood  him  in  good  stead, 
though  often  belying  his  actions.  Finding  academics  fairly  easy,  "\\  ilbur"  was  able 
to  enjoy  his  favorite  diversions,  sack  drill  and  liberty.  Also  on  the  lighter  side  of  life, 
he  was  one  of  those  rare  individuals  who  had  no  trouble  dragging  two  girls  on  one 
week-end.  Some  will  remember  him  as  the  guy  who  couldn't  carry  a  tune,  some  will 
remember  his  voice  that  hadn't  changed,  but  everyone  will  recall  the  warm  personality 
which  will  make  him  many  friends.

Al  Karch — a  fellow  we  were  all  anxious  to  call 
a  friend.  His  first  claim  to  fame  was  his  unof- 
ficial membership  in  44's  "Unholy  Sextet,"  an 
organization  that  even  the  Admiral,  the  Jimmy- 
legs,  and  the  sharpest  of  O.D.'s  had  to  admit  was 
tops.  The  gym  team  was  sorry  to  lose  Al  to  the 
wrestling  team,  where  he  came  into  his  own  as 
one  of  Ray  Schwartz'  boys.  The  women  he  dragged 
testified  to  Al's  prowess  with  the  fair  sex.  He 
didn't  drag  very  often,  but  you  could  be  sure  that 
when  he  did,  she'd  be  4.0.  Here's  to  a  fellow  that 
we  can  count  on  when  the  chips  are  down.

Jack  was  not  too  verbose,  not  believing  in  idle 
chatter,  but  his  interest  in  Bull  never  left  him 
lacking  ways  to  express  himself  or  facts  to  back 
his  point  of  view.  He  insisted  that  trees  grow  in 
Brooklyn  and  the  Dodgers  will  win  the  next  series, 
or  maybe  the  one  after.  He  avoided  serious 
trouble  with  the  Academic  Department ;  his  big- 
gest worry  was  his  relations  with  the  Exec  De- 
partment. Not  a  Red  Mike,  he  enjoyed  dragging 
very  much,  but  he  believed  that  you  had  the  most 
fun  and  the  least  trouble  if  you  didn't  do  it  too 
often.

was  quiet  and  reserved,  precise  and  neat,  easy-going  and  amiable.    He  was  a 

diplomat  whose  acquaintance  we  were  glad  to  make.    Always  extolling  the  merits  of 

:  state  of  Ohio,  his  claim  that  Ohio's  weather  is  superior  to  that  of  Maryland 

J  no  debate;  for  what  state  cannot  claim  the  same?    "Curley"  showed  great 

form  in  hurdling  for  the  varsity  track  team,  as  well  as  in  swimming  the  breast  stroke. 

He  was  a  hard  worker  at  the  Academy,  and  will  continue  to  be  just  that  in  the  sub 

ice,  which  he  hopes  to  enter  upon  graduation. 


At  Large 

Dix  the  cosmopolite!  Being  a  Navy  junior,  he  hailed  from  no  particular  state.  An 
appropriate  motto  for  this  delegate-at-large  was  "Wine,  women,  and  song."  His  per- 
sonality was  of  the  dual  type;  nonchalant,  carefree  on  the  one  hand;  reserved  and  de- 
termined on  the  other.  Academics  caused  little  or  no  worry  to  Dix,  but  his  knack  for 
being  apprehended  by  the  Executive  Department  proved  most  embarrassing.  The  fire 
in  his  waste  basket  during  a  crucial  moment  in  '43  Army-Navy  game  netted  Dix  his 
classic  frap.  A  brother  to  Pisces,  Dix  easily  earned  his  N-stars  in  the  big  pool.

Ah!  the  loveliness  of  a  woman  .  .  .  and  a  horse. 
Being  a  connoisseur  of  both  (although  he  re- 
mained faithful  to  his  O.A.O.),  Tex  often  enter- 
tained us  with  his  stories.  Army  brat,  cavalry- 
man, tank  corpsman — all  in  one.  He  entered  the 
Academy  from  the  Army  on  his  own  merits.  His 
fighting  spirit  and  winning  personality  made  him 
an  indispensable  part  of  our  football  backfield, 
and  also  kept  him  above  the  water  line  academ- 
ically. His  dreams  of  raising  horses  and  children 
will  someday  vanish  with  his  entrance  into  the 
Marines.  A  fighting  guy  for  a  fighting  outfit! 


Milton,  Massachusetts 

It's  a  nose!  But  its  got  a  body  with  it!  Then 
it's  "The  Face."  Ah  yes,  a  character  among  char- 
acters, a  son  of  a  Navy  man,  an  operator  with  the 
slipstick,  and  a  maker  of  much  chalk  dust.  When 
he  staggered  through  the  portals  at  the  beginning, 
he  had  one  girl;  and  when  he  ran  through  the 
portals  at  the  end,  he  ran  through  with  the  same 
girl  .  .  .  little  Lynn,  lucky  man!  "The  Face"  was 
never  a  man  for  sports,  but  everyone  who  knew 
him  knew  that  it  wasn't  because  he  was  incapable 
.  .  .  he  just  loved  his  sack.

"Toby"  was  a  blessed  Navy  junior,  but  a  good  one  for  a  change.  At  times,  however, 
he  was  hard  to  figure  out  because  you  could  never  predict  what  he'd  do  next.  "0"\  (al- 
ley" was  afraid  of  being  on  time  for  anything,  especially  formations  on  Sunday  nights 
after  one  of  his  super  dragging  week-ends.  With  the  help  of  his  streamlined  physique, 
"Little  Oscar"  was  able  to  win  a  couple  of  N-stars  on  the  varsity  swimming  team. 
But  with  all  that  buoyancy,  who  couldn't?  Good  luck.  Jim.  don't  let  those  dreams  of

Whether  it  was  S.  Carolina,  "the  Old  Navy," 
morals,  women,  liquor,  or  how  not  to  beat  the 
system,  Mac  had  all  the  answers.  The  genial 
gentleman  of  the  sack  was  always  ready  to  donate 
fatherly  advice,  but  seldom  ready  to  follow  it. 
Sea  stories  galore,  with  "Ask  McCaskill"  for 
proof  were  favorites  of  "Sackall,"  the  man  who 
forsook  a  chance  at  fame  in  the  athletic  world  to 
strengthen  the  "tin  can  navy,"  and  ended  up  by 
ornamenting  a  bunk  with  its  pillars  painted  blue 
and  gold,  in  an  attempt  to  hide  from  varsity 
coaches. 


Long  Island,  New  York 

"Med"  had  a  genial  and  fun-loving  personality 
hidden  under  that  quiet  and  unassuming  attitude. 
Beneath  his  calm  spirit  lay  a  keen  sense  of  humor 
that  made  him  a  friend  to  all  who  knew  him. 
"Med"  was  intensely  fond  of  his  chow,  and  really 
appreciated  the  canteen.  But  when  he  wasn't 
foraging  to  satisfy  his  voracious  appetite,  he  could 
probably  be  found  pulling  on  an  oar  on  the  Severn 
or  working  out  in  the  gym.  "Med"  tackled  aca- 
demics with  the  same  zest  that  he  showed  in 
sports,  but  it  never  kept  him  from  enjoying  to 
the  utmost  every  dragging  week-end.

trary to  the  flavor  of  his  alias     'Sleepy"  was  a  hard  worker  and  a  capable  athlete. 
:>etween  the  rival  beauties  of  nature  and  the  opposite  sex,  he  often  resorted  to 
s-country  hiking,  with  its  poison  ivy  menace,  for  week-end  recreation.     In  his

From  the  University  of  Georgia  to  the  Academy  was  just  one  more  step  on  the  road 
to  fame  (or  notoriety)  for  "Griff."  Defending  the  virtues  of  the  South  against  Yankee 
carpetbaggers  and  explaining  the  strategy  of  Sherman's  retreat  kept  this  Southern 
gentleman  well  occupied.  Georgia's  gift  to  the  ladies  didn't  drag  much  because  he  was 
true  to  about  five  girls  back  home.  "Griff"  used  the  English  language  fluently  and 
frequently,  and  his  flair  for  other  languages  will  serve  him  well  in  the  Diplomatic 
Corps,  if  the  Navy  will  permit  him  to  join  that  distinguished  group  after  graduation. 


Seneca  Falls,  New  York 

From  Cayuga  to  the  Severn  came  "Red-Head," 
potential  Steam  prof  and  chicken  farmer,  to  find 
the  Annapolis  Finishing  School  sheer  fruit  after 
three  years  as  a  wage  slave.  Except  on  week-ends, 
when  his  home  in  town  became  a  haven  for  mid- 
shipmen gardeners,  lawn-mowers,  handymen,  and 
their  drags,  only  Bull  and  Juice  got  the  lad  off  his 
sack.  Quiet,  reserved,  competent,  Dale  found  time 
for  company  athletics  and  an  unparalleled  cor- 
respondence in  which  he  slashed  even  the  plebes. 
We'll  always  remember  Dale  ready  to  give  his  all.

Fleet,  he  reveled  in  his  tales  of  the  pre-war  Navy. 
At  the  Academy  he  devoted  much  of  his  time  to 
rooting  for  Navy  teams  in  a  rabid  fashion  peculiar 
to  Brooklyn,  fitted  into  various  company  sports, 
and  discouraged  Marine  Corps  aspirants.  An 
avowed  misogynist,  Jesse  none-the-less  managed 
bi-annual  love  affairs,  which  suffered  fatally  from 
academic  attrition.  Ambition:  To  become  an  in- 
tegral part  of  what  he  calls  the  "world's  biggest 
and  best  Navy."

For  a  long  time  "Smiley"  was  preparing  to  grad-

and  we'll  be  right  behind  him  if  we  can  keep  up.

Press  Detail  work,  and  to  manage  varsity  basket-

could  usually  be  found  dragging  one  of  his  Eastern 
Shore  "belles."  Gifted  with  a  natural  sense  of 
humor,  "R.  P."  and  his  wisecracks  were  a  welcome 
addition  to  the  not  infrequent  Bancroft  bull

"Wake  me  up  five  minutes  before  drill,"  thus 
said  "Sic"  as  he  passed  another  happy  hour  hori- 
zontally. Jack's  love  for  his  sack  and  the  latest 
copy  of  Esquire  were  surpassed  only  by  his  dy- 
namic attraction  for  the  fairer  sex.  In  the  class- 
room "Sic"  found  Math  and  Skinny  easy  going, 
but  Bull  and  Dago  rated  only  as  necessary  evils. 
This  Navy  stuff  was  nothing  new  to  Jack,  for  his 
brother  preceded  him  at  the  Academy.  During 
his  three  years  by  the  Severn,  he  exhibited  versa- 
tility in  athletics  and  an  amiable  personality 
which  won  him  a  host  of  friends.

In  from  the  swamps  of  Louisiana,  Norris

hindrance  to  him,  for  deep  in  his  home  state 
lived  the  girl  of  his  dreams.  While  the  rest  of  us 
wondered  what  ions  were,  Sills  calmly  4.0-ed  his

cal engineering  course  prior  to  entrance.  He  was

excepting  Dago.  Being  a  person  of  diversified 
interests  as  well  as  a  good  student,  he  was  in  the

into  academics  with  a  vengeance.  "Bull"  was,  however,  more  successful  in  the  ring 
than  in  the  classroom — he  was  a  Golden  Gloves  champion  before  entering,  and  a 
Naval  Academy  champion  when  he  left.  Aside  from  these  notable  achievements,  he

Three  years  at  Albion  College  gave  Willie  a 
store  of  knowledge  to  help  his  daily  grades,  but 
exams  were  another  story.  Lucky  at  cards  as  well 
as  love,  Bill  broke  all  the  axioms.  He  proved  that 
a  midshipman  could  do  the  impossible — three 
years,  one  girl.  He  stayed  out  of  varsity  sports 
only  to  excel  in  intramurals.  An  ardent  member 
of  the  Boat  Club,  he  knew  every  buoy  and  bar 
from  Cambridge  to  Baltimore,  and  any  ketch 
under  his  command  had  smooth  sailing.  With  a

Perry  had  his  eye  on  the  Navy  longer  than  most

unique  ability  to  love  several  women  at  the  same

Navy  his  good  looks  and  an  enviable,  ever  friendly 
disposition.  Never  troubled  by  academics,  Jack 
was  able  to  secure  a  top-notch  position  on  the 
Juice  gang,  really  hit  those  intramural  athletics, 
and  at  the  same  time  kept  up  an  awe-inspiring 
correspondence  with  all  those  girls  he  left  behind. 
His  motto — "You  can't  beat  the  Irish."

Clark  left  his  beloved  California  via  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  Propaganda  Bureau  with  a  com- 
plete spiel  about  the  "Golden  State."  Three  years 
in  U.C.L.A.  kept  him  out  of  trouble  academically, 
and  a  natural  ability  for  organization  and  just 
plain  "getting  along"  with  his  classmates  made 
him  a  success  in  other  fields.  Clark  ran  the  Pub- 
lic Relations  Detail  first-class  year  with  great 
finesse,  and  was  never  known  to  slight  the  ath- 
letic side  of  life  at  the  Academy.  His  ability  to 
acquire  golden  tans  and  beautiful  women  cannot 
be  neglected  nor  forgotten.

Although  a  staunch  New  Englander  at  heart,  Bob  acceded  to  leaving  his  beloved 
White  Mountains  long  enough  to  become  an  ensign.  A  hard  worker  and  a  confirmed 
Red  Mike  as  a  plebe,  he  remained  the  former,  but  his  first  blind  date  caused  him  to 
change  his  ideas  about  women.  Bull,  Glee  Club,  and  letters  from  Washington  were 
his  favorite  topics  for  discussion.  Most  of  his  spare  time  was  spent  on  the  Severn, 
pulling  an  oar  for  crew.  Never  seeming  to  be  bothered  with  academics,  Bob  always 
found  time  to  play,  read,  or  dash  off  a  quick  article  for  the  Log.

Woodbine,  Maryland 

Perhaps  Hank  can  best  be  described  as  a  Navy 
man  by  heart,  but  a  country  gentleman  by  nature. 
For  three  years  he  seldom  bothered  to  get  in  step, 
but  his  half-furrow  pace  led  him  from  his  Mary- 
land farm  to  a  hard-earned  commission.  Hank 
never  completely  solved  the  mysteries  of  inte- 
gration or  of  the  fairer  sex,  but  nevertheless  he 
handled  his  guitar  and  lacrosse  stick  with  dex- 
terity. His  musical  ability  led  him  to  the  director- 
ship of  the  Mandolin  Club.  Though  blessed  with  a 
contagious  sense  of  humor,  Hank  never  learned 
to  smile  before  breakfast  or  after  a  Math  P-work.

New  Orleans,  Louisiana 

"Swampy"  Weaver  always  contended  that 
there  were  bayous,  not  swamps,  in  Louisiana. 
"The  Institute"  was  but  a  pause,  preparing  him 
for  the  big  leap  into  the  life  of  the  Navy.  His  was 
definitely  an  Epicurean  outlook,  but  he  considered 
all  women  conniving  creatures  and,  except  upon 
occasional  moments  of  weakness,  he  kept  them  at 
a  distance.  Accustomed  to  the  lazy  tempo  of  the 
South,  he  was  not  infrequently  found  in  his  sack, 
just  resting.  His  ambition  is  a  plantation  "on  the 
river."   He'll  make  a  perfect  gentleman  farmer.

Castleton,  Vermont 

Holding  to  the  belief  that  "the  integral  sign  points  the  way  to  success,"  "Whitey," 
a  star  man  from  the  Province  of  Vermont,  discovered  during  youngster  year  that  for- 
mulas did  not  apply  to  affairs  of  the  heart.  The  termination  of  a  five-year  allegiance 
to  his  O.A.O.  left  Art  greater  time  to  delve  into  the  more  intricate  problems  of  Math, 
Juice,  and  radio.  Among  "Whizzer's"  contributions  to  life  at  the  Academy  were  a 
tubeless  radio,  a  fast  rope-climb,  and  a  willingness  to  learn  and  serve.  That  willingness 
and  "thinkability"  are  going  to  help  Art  climb  the  long  Navy  rope  to  success.

Tall,  lanky,  blond,  and  blushing,  Chuck  Wil- 
liams was  a  man  well  suited  for  a  Navy  profession. 
From  San  Pedro — where  the  Pacific  Fleet  an- 
chored almost  at  his  very  doorstep — Williams 
easily  stepped  into  a  bluejacket's  garb,  and  later 
that  of  a  midshipman.  Along  the  reaches  of  the 
Severn,  Chuck  pulled  a  good  oar,  was  more  than 
adequate  at  tennis  and  basketball,  poor  at  bridge, 
collected  many  bricks,  disliked  foreign  languages. 
Amiable  and  affable,  Chuck's  success  with  men 
under  him  stems  from  getting  them  to  work  with 
him,  not  for  him.

came  "Doc"  Wingo.  "Not  just  Kentucky,  West-

he  came  from  the  hills.  None  doubted  that  he 
came  from  the  blue  grass  when  he  started  talking 
horses.  Romping  through  sports  like  a  colt,  tam- 
ing spirited  young  fillies  on  week-ends,  and  donat- 
ing good  horse  sense  to  Reef  Points  left  time  for 
such  minor  activities  as  studying.  While  Wingo

Bob  was  born  way  out  on  the  outskirts  of  the  city  of  the  living  dead — Philly.  \\  ith- 
out  talking  or  otherwise  wasting  energy,  Bob  proceeded  to  his  sack,  there  to  spend 
much  of  his  time  at  the  U.S.N.A.  His  accomplishments  include  a  college  education 
in  bar  tending,  a  bit  of  lacrosse,  a  smattering  of  l'amour,  plus  a  good  collection  of 
Benny  Goodman  records.  Bob  had  a  knack  for  putting  new  words  into  old  songs:  his 
wit  and  humor  kept  him  in  good  standing  with  the  regular  guys  and  made  knowing 
him  a  pleasure.

Naval  Academy.  With  a  marked  zest  for  originating  nicknames  and  songs  apropos  of 
his  classmates,  Bud  became  a  welcome  participant  in  bull  sessions.  His  lively  repartee 
upheld,  in  the  tradition  of  a  true  Southern  gentleman,  the  honor  of  the  South  in  many 
informal  debates  Although  athletics  and  academics  received  attention,  Bud  devoted 
much  of  his  time  to  making  and  cementing  friendships.  His  appealing  personality  and

Small  but  mighty  was  the  little  Michigander 
that  hailed  from  three  years  on  the  briny  deep. 
Personality  and  the  urge  for  a  change  of  duty 
marked  Wally  as  the  man  destined  to  become  a 
"gentleman  of  the  Navy."  The  little  "Salt" 
wasn't  disturbed  much  by  academics — foregoing 
his  lust  for  liberty  was  his  most  difficult  problem 
to  solve.  A  sweet  little  lady  caught  his  fancy  and 
gave  him  the  inspiration  to  carry  on  to  the  finish 
with  flying  colors.  Wally  is  a  man  we  will  always 
be  proud  to  sit  with  at  the  same  table,  whether  it 
is  over  a  glass  of  "suds"  or  in  the  ways  of  business.

NORTHFIELD,  NEW  J  ERSE  Y 

This  scrappy  little  son  of  Erin  left  the  gay 
boardwalks  of  Atlantic  City  for  the  more  sombre 
shores  of  the  Severn,  bringing  with  him  a  pair  of 
bright  eyes  and  an  ever-ready  laugh  that  soon 
won  him  a  host  of  friends.  Industrious  but  never 
quiet,  Harry's  faculty  for  playing  pranks  soon 
caused  him  to  be  jokingly  titled  the  "Trouble- 
maker." His  favorite  pastime  was  dragging  a 
certain  blonde  bombshell  of  local  talent  and  noth- 
ing short  of  the  will  of  the  Executive  Department 
or  a  case  of  the  mumps  could  prevent  him  from 
putting  in  an  appearance  at  every  hop. 


Canton,  Missouri 

On  spring  and  summer  afternoons  ,  "Butch"  headed  for  Lawrence  Field,  where  he 
played  the  part  of  manager  and  best  supporter  of  the  baseball  team.  Baseball,  for  a 
limited  time,  took  his  mind  off  the  "chicks,"  but  not  for  long.  The  one  thing  that  he 
missed  while  at  Missouri  U.  was  the  Steam  Department.  Here  at  the  Naval  Academy 
he  took  part  in  a  few  close  skirmishes  with  this  department,  but  came  out  the  winner 
in  every  one  of  them.  As  classmates  and  fellow  members  of  the  "Flying  Squadron," 
we  realize  that  we  will  never  know  a  better  friend  and  shipmate. 


Big  Stone  Gap,  Virginia 

A  background  of  two  years  at  V.P.I,  made  the 
life  of  a  midshipman  smooth  sailing  for  Earl.  He 
showed  an  active  interest  in  the  Naval  Academy 
intramural  program  by  vigorous  participation  in 
many  sports.  His  favorite  indoor  pastime,  that  of 
yielding  to  the  beckoning  of  his  pillow  every 
happy-hour,  earned  him  the  nickname  of  "Sleepy." 
Many  will  also  remember  him  as  "Smiley,"  a 
name  which  complimentingly  explains  itself. 
Earl's  tall,  lean  figure  well  exemplified  the  moun- 
taineer stock  from  which  he  came,  a  stock  that  can 
be  traced  back  to  the  pioneers  of  early  days.

"Mate,  is  the  mail  out?"  This  was  "Iggy's"

far  away  in  Kansas.  A  ready  companion  in  work 
or  play,  congenial  and  easy-going  "Mac"  was 
always  welcomed  in  any  gathering.  Not  adverse 
to  a  sack  drill  at  the  expense  of  Steam  or  Skinny, 
he  managed  to  have  a  little  session  with  Morpheus

that  was  the  essence  of  Pat's  philosophy  of  life.  However,  Pat  was  no  bucket — on  the 
contrary,  whatever  he  attempted  ended  well  above  average.  With  a  year  at  San  Jose 
State  College  and  two  years  in  the  Fleet,  Pat  acquired  numerous  friends.  We  all  re- 
member him  as  a  quiet,  easy-going  fellow  that  merely  asked  to  be  left  alone  with  his 
thoughts  of  a  beautiful  San  Jose  nurse.

Soon  after  General  Hershey  began  his  famous 
"lottery  of  twelve  million  winners,"  Bob  picked 
up  his  tennis  racquet  and  left  Dartmouth  for 
Annapolis.  The  "Rube"  never  was  a  star  with  the

varsity  tennis  squad  for  his  field,  starting  out  with 
a  N*  his  plebe  year  and  playing  number  i  for  two 
more  years.  He  was  also  a  smashing  success  in  the 
Executive  Department  Follies  during  youngster

There  was  no  better  shipmate  than  the  Vashon 
Island  "wonder  boy."  His  antics  were  enjoyed  by 
the  entire  company,  and  his  presence  was  always 
desired  by  all  hands.  His  easy-going  manner  and 
keen  wit  made  him  one  of  the  most  colorful  men 
of  our  class.  "Cro,"  "Cronatra,"  "Jim,"  "Jose" 
La  Cro,"  and  "The  Most  Handsome  Kid  in  the 
Regiment"  were  his  usual  titles,  although  he 
would  answer  to  almost  anything  you  called  him. 
Academy  life  for  Jim  was  fruit.  I  believe  he  only 
studied  twice  while  here — once,  to  see  if  he  could, 
and  the  second  time,  to  remember  how  it  felt.

Entering  from  the  Fleet,  Gene  found  Academy  discipline  unusually  restrictive.  But 
his  adaptability  and  common  sense  enabled  him  profitably  to  understand  life  here. 
Possessing  a  keen  intelligence,  he  covered  academics  quite  easily  with  minimum  effort 
and  often  had  a  book  for  extra  reading.  He  maintained  a  great  and  rather  signular 
interest  in  women.  Gene  never  allowed  an  unduly  great  interest  in  extra-curricular 
activities  to  bother  him,  although  he  was  ordinarily  insistent  upon  and  even  peri- 
odically eager  about  his  gym  exercise.  His  particular  character  admirably  suits  a 
Naval  career. 


Minneapolis,  Minnesota 

"From  the  ankles  up,  he  is  really  neat;  but  from 
the  ankles  down  he's  just  too  much  feet!"  That  was 
"Feets'  "  theme  song  as  he  drew  his  6  feet  3  inches 
through  Bancroft  Hall.  Hailing  from  Pittsburg 
via  Minneapolis,  "Feets"  brought  with  him  a  huge 
pair  of  feet  and  one  of  the  most  shining  and  ami- 
able personalities  the  Academy  has  ever  seen. 
Never  one  to  waste  time  studying,  he  spent  most 
of  his  time  undergoing  sack  drill.  When  "Feets" 
leaves,  it  will  take  three  big  men  to  fill  his  shoes, 
and  sure  as  his  feet  are  big  and  his  hair  red,  they 
will  have  to  be  Irish.

man  and  many  were  the  classmates  whom  he 
helped  with  a  difficult  prob.  A  graceful  diver  and 
a  consistent  performer,  he  easily  gained  a  spot  on 
the  varsity  swimming  team.  Out-of-season  he 
spent  many  hours  on  the  basketball  court.  Liberty 
meant  little  to  him  other  than  another  chance  to 
exercise.  Many  friends,  ability  plus  stability,  a 
sure  success — that's  "Duesty."

In  spite  of  conflict  with  both  the  Executive  and 
Academic  Departments,  Walt  managed  to  main- 
tain his  friendly,  whimsical  grin.  At  Sub  School, 
youngster  summer,  Walt  saw  $8,000  worth  of 
torpedo  plumb  the  briny  depths,  but  stongly  main- 
tains that  he  did  take  up  snug  on  all  the  bolts. 
Walt  shaved  it  pretty  close  on  exams  a  couple  of 
times,  but  diligence  pulled  him  through  where  we 
thought  he  was  lost.  "Sir,  I'm  not  exactly  clear 
on  this."  An  ex-Merchant  Mariner,  to  him  "Tur- 
bine" still  rhymes  with  wine.  If  constant  friendli- 
ness and  effort  are  criterions,  Walt  rates  4.0. 


Glenside,  Pennsylvania 

"Frankie-boy's"  chief  activities  were  almost 
equally  divided  between  brushing  his  hair  and  the 
fair  sex.  Having  had  a  little  trouble  with  engage- 
ment rings  (not  his  own),  this  latter  pastime  did 
not  always  receive  his  fullest  attention.  His  shin- 
ing pate,  always  a  beacon  to  his  friends,  seemed 
to  be  an  irresistible  butt  of  the  jokes  of  his  class- 
mates. Easy-going,  with  a  fine  sense  of  humor, 
most  of  his  exercise  seems  to  come  from  running 
to  the  window  at  the  sound  of  high  heels.  In  fact, 
the  Executive  Department  sometimes  wondered 
what  kept  "Romeo"  from  falling  out.

"Foo  Foo"  began  his  Naval  career  back  in  1940  when  he  enlisted.  He  claimed  to  have

were  women,  shining  shoes,  and  keeping  the  plebes  in  suspenders  and  garters.  He  also 
served  as  head  of  the  Prop  Gang  during  his  last  year.  'Foo  Foo"  never  cared  for  aca- 
demics and  during  study  hours  he  found  excuses  to  divert  his  energies  from  his  studies. 
Before  he  joins  the  Fleet  again,  he  has  an  appointment  with  a  lovely  Fairmont  nurse 
that  both  have  been  waiting  eight  years  to  keep. 


Los  Angeles,  California 

Maryland's  weather  and  the  East's  women 
proved  most  disappointing  to  Los  Angeles'  con- 
tribution to  the  Naval  service.  "Mike"  left  his 
riveting  gun  at  Lockheed  to  become  the  Naval 
Academy's  most  talented  artist,  capable  of  any- 
thing from  a  caricature  of  a  Steam  prof  to  a  plebe's 
vision  of  a  queen.  Academically  the  Naval  Acad- 
emy was  fruit,  but  "Migool's"  unfortunate  expe- 
riences with  the  upperclasses  and  the  Executive 
Department  began  toward  the  end  of  his  plebe 
year  when  his  O.A.O.  succumbed  to  the  charms 
of  an  R.O.T.C.  Field  Artillery  shavetail.

When  Ed  entered  the  Naval  Academy,  he  had 
behind  him  three  years  of  faithful  service  in  the 
Fleet  and  a  heart-felt  desire  to  be  an  officer  in  the 
Navy.  Sincere  in  all  he  did,  Ed's  willingness  to 
learn  and  his  determination  to  succeed  won  him 
the  respect  of  many  friends.  A  fondness  for  sports 
prompted  him  to  be  a  star  end  on  the  battalion 
football  team.  Ed  never  missed  a  liberty,  but  he 
was  not  a  confirmed  dragger.  Uppermost  in  his 
thoughts  was  the  day  when  he  would  wear  the 
stripe  and  star  he  had  worked  so  earnestly  to 
attain.

Johnny  gave  up  a  mighty  easy  billet  at  the  Naval  Air  Station  at  Sand  Point.  Wash- 
ington, in  order  to  go  to  the  Naval  Academy  Preparatory  School.  Successful  Norfolk 
liberties  (unbelievable),  triumphant  entrance  examinations,  and  Johnny  found  himself 
removed  to  the  Academy.  His  very  promising  career  in  regimental  boxing  was  ended 
when  he  received  an  injury  while  winning  points  for  the  "Fighting  Fifth's"  victorious 
team.  A  member  of  the  Academy's  Starboat  Fleet,  Johnny  proved  himself  an  able 
seaman  as  coxswain  of  Star  Dust.  His  ability  to  drag  for  five  cents  qualifies  him  as  an 
excellent  future  first  lieutenant  or  commissary  officer  in  the  Fleet.

"Whatever  it  is,  I'm  against  it!"  described  his 
policy  in  passing  on  matters  of  daily  discussion. 
Never  claiming  to  be  a  quiet,  retiring  lad,  he 
pulled  his  wives  through  the  academic  perils  by 
interpreting  the  difficult  parts  of  the  subjects  for 
them.  The  plebes  all  knew  him  from  either  spoon- 
ing or  running.  Of  if  any  plebe  wanted  a  difficult 
answer,  Jackson  was  the  man  to  run  to.  Girls 
couldn't  draw  this  Red  Mike  from  his  sack,  ex- 
cept for  limited  quiet  week-ends.  Hops  held  no 
charm ;  far  better  the  early  show  followed  by  quick 
taps. 


Portland,  Oregon 

"We  need  a  fourth  chair  for  bridge;  using

able love  for  this  indoor  sport.  Bob  liked  to  think 
of  himself  as  an  indoor  athlete,  but  he  found  him- 
self right  at  home  carrying  the  ball  for  the  bat- 
talion football  team  or  wielding  the  helm  of  one 
of  the  Academy's  yawls.  The  week-ends  were 
another  phase  of  Academy  life  that  the  Romeo 
with  the  wavy  brown  hair  definitely  enjoyed. 
However,  beneath  his  light  and  cheery  manner, 
"Shorty"  maintained  a  deep  seriousness  in  his 
attitude  toward  his  future  Naval  career.

"Well,  whatdayaknow,  fella?"  Larry  was  al- 
ways ready  to  talk  about  any  aspect  of  life,  espe- 
cially women.  He  spent  his  afternoons  at  the  range 
with  the  pistol  team,  becoming  varsity  manager 
his  last  year.  His  quiet,  scholarly  manner  won 
him  a  host  of  admirers,  for  he  could  always  be 
counted  upon  to  come  up  with  the  right  answer. 
Larry  always  had  some  popular  tune  to  hum  when 
the  routine  became  dull.  His  course  through  life's 
uncharted  waters  will  be  clear  of  rocks  and  shoals 
and  his  will  always  be  a  happy  and  efficient  ship. 


Wayne,  Nebraska 

When  "Wings"  shook  loose  the  dust  of  the  in- 
land to  carve  himself  a  career  in  the  Navy,  he 
brought  with  him  a  backlog  of  3  years  of  "Joe 
College"  life  and  the  stock  of  pleasantries  that 
made  him  the  best  of  shipmates.  His  extra-cur- 
ricular life  was  devoted  to  being  a  big  man  about 
the  tennis  squad  and  being  a  fountain  pen  Lo- 
thario. His  successes  in  both  departments  were 
generally  conceded  to  be  pretty  hard  to  beat. 
However  thick  rolled  the  smoke  of  battle  or  bull 
session,  "Lars"  came  through  with  Dago  book  in 
one  hand  and  eye  chart  in  the  other.

up  with  a  snap  and  a  dust  rag.  To  waste  a  minute  was  to  waste  a  lifetime,  and  with 
Al  there  was  always  another  letter  to  write.  Nor  did  he  stop  here.  None  of  the  vicious 
contrivances  devised  by  the  academic  group  could  thwart  Al's  3.4  gravy.  When  it 
comes  to  ergs,  Al  mustered  up  a  few  for  Navy  football,  and  can  always  put  out  more

through  the  Naval  Reserve  and  was  proud  of  it.  in  spite  of  being  called  a  reserve  by 
his  classmates.  Although  from  an  old  Virginia  family,  he  was  born  in  Florida,  and  lived 
in  many  states,  including  Maryland,  Pennsylvania,  Arkansas,  and  Texas.  This  vaga- 
bond had  a  difficult  time  answering  the  stock  question.  "Where  you  from.  Mister?' 
His  efforts  on  the  field  of  sport  were  not  for  naught,  as  he  has  several  numerals  on  his

By  the  ratey  angle  of  his  hat  plebe  summer  it 
was  not  hard  to  tell  that  "Fibber"  was  an  old  salt. 
His  duty  aboard  the  "Dale"  and  sea  stories  about

nickname  well-founded.  Though  not  lazy,  Darryl 
was  not  one  to  fail  to  recognize  the  virtues  of  his 
sack.  In  academics  "Muggsy"  was  a  natural. 
Never  devoting  an  erg  more  than  necessary,  he 
was  always  able  to  say  "Yo  tengo  mio,  y  Vd."  A 
keen  sense  of  humor  coupled  with  natural  ability 
in  all  fields  will  keep  "Fibber"  in  front.

fishing.  Blond  and  easy-going,  "Mapes"  was  a 
true  Southern  gentleman,  and  always  insisted  that 
the  Yankees  won  only  after  the  South's  supply  of 
corn  stalks  ran  out.  Although  he  did  very  well  in 
the  technical  subjects,  Luke's  favorites  were  Bull 
and  Dago,  but  usually  they  were  assigned  the  low 
multiples.  Luke  preferred  the  Gulf  Coast  in  all

King  came  to  the  Academy  after  four  years  of 
engineering  at  Alabama  Polytechnic  Institute; 
however,  he  had  to  keep  plugging  to  stay  ahead 
of  the  Academic  Departments.  He  became  known 
to  us  as  "The  Ancient  One,"  since  he  was  three  or 
four  years  older  than  his  classmates.  Here  was  a 
Rebel  from  the  swamps  of  South  Georgia  who  did 
not  believe  Sherman  ever  marched  through 
Georgia.  He  was  definitely  not  out  of  place  in 
a  boxing  ring  or  on  a  tennis  court.  Quiet,  unas- 
suming, and  always  friendly,  King  was  a  swell 
"Memory."

Hidden  Irish  in  Jack  asserted  itself  when  he

later  devoted  his  time  to  dragging,  sailing,  and  the 
Movie  Gang.  Academics  never  bothered  him,  and 
for  one  who  had  a  reputation  as  a  slash,  he  spent 
many  hours  on  his  sack.  Few  men  complained 
more  about  dragging  a  la  Annapolis;  nevertheless 
every  hop  found  him  present.  Jack's  foremost 
ambition  will  be  realized  when  he  can  set  foot 
upon  one  of  Uncle  Sam's  new  CL's.

Three  years  in  the  Fleet  tempered  Mac's  good  humor  and  rounded  off  his  ability  to 
tell  sea  stories.  Cranking  in  spots  and  working  fire  control  probs  on  the  Nashville 
helped  him  star  in  Ordnance,  which  more  than  compensated  for  his  being  a  Dago 
bucket.  His  greatest  inspiration  came  from  that  brunette  in  Minnesota,  whose  letter 
could  be  found  on  his  desk  every  morning.  His  size  and  build  had  him  slated  for  a  berth 
on  the  varsity  football  squad,  but  his  athletic  career  was  nipped  in  the  bud  by  a  knee 
injury  received  plebe  year.  Mac's  second  love  is  cruisers  of  course.

Food,  sleep,  and  a  certain  Miss  Kind  constituted  the  three  prime  requisites  of

it  was  probably  "Obie."  The  worse  gripe  always 
seemed  a  bit  easier  to  bear  after  this  stout  West

humor.  A  rough  battalion  football  game  on  a 
Sunday  afternoon,  or  a  few  sets  of  tennis  on  a 
spring  day  were  Bill's  meat.  A  few  minutes  with 
a  letter  from  home,  a  good  bull  session,  and  a

Versatility  was  the  motto  of  this  ex-boilermaker

working  with  the  Sound  Unit  or  employing  his 
talents  as  a  typist  and  artist  for  the  Lucky  Bag

The  cry  of  "How'd  you  do  the  third  prob?" 
daily  interrupted  Slade's  artistic  attempts  and 
study-hour  siestas.  Untroubled  by  the  usual  per- 
plexities of  Academy  life,  Slade  had  difficulties 
in  convincing  Dago  profs  that  his  dreamy  eyes, 
which  earned  him  the  name  of  "Sorrowful,"  belied 
his  mental  alertness.  Slade  found  time  enough 
from  his  many  activities  for  a  bit  of  football,  bas-

to  attend  the  Navy  Prep  School  and  then  the 
Academy.  Each  additional  year  with  MIT  sub- 
jects accentuated  his  doggedness  because  he 
was  a  real  plugger.  Fear  of  high  blood  pressure 
made  "Hank"  shy  away  from  strenuous  sports. 
His  last  year  at  the  Academy  he  discovered  his 
true  love  in  star  boat  sailing.  It  took  Hank  two 
years  to  realize  that  too  much  study  is  detri-

"Where  there's  life  there's  Hope,"  not  Bob  Hope,  but  Hope,  Arkansas,  the  home  of 
the  world's  largest  watermelons  and  E.  P.  Young.  In  July  of  '42,  the  "life"  left  Hope  to 
come  to  the  Academy  and  assume  command  of  the  Confederate  Forces  of  the  Chesa- 
peake (Comconforch.es) .  E.  P.'s  greatest  moment  came  when  he  made  his  youngster 
cruise  on  the  unforgettable  "Arkansas."  "Rebel"  was  very  friendly  except  after  the 
mention  of  Bob  Burns  or  "Mr.  Speaker."  His  spirit  backed  by  excellent  vocal  cords 
and  a  love  for  talking  won  him  many  friends  even  north  of  the  Mason-Dixon  line. 


E.  P. 


AND  SOME  THERE  dE,  ?<*&  imt  not  ^<fxdte 

For  various  reasons,  varying  from  academic  deficiency  to  physical  disability,  they 

left  our  class  before  the  end  of  the  course.     Some  are  in  later  classes,  others  have 

entered  different  branches  of  the  service.     However,  wherever  they  are,  those  of  us 

who  \new  them  will  always  thin\  of  them  as  members  of  '46.

S  naiXCmt  may  outrun  the  destroyer, 
Even  so  with  the  law  and  its  grip, 

Por  the  strength  of  the  ship  is  the  Service, 
And  the  strength  of  the  Service,  the  ship. 


How  these  are  the  £aws  of  the  TLa 
And  many  and  mighty  are  they. 

"But  the  hull  and  the  deck  and  the  keel 
And  the  truck  of  the  law  is  —  O'B'Ey.

And  when  thou  art  safe  in  the  harbour 
Chey  will  envy,  but  may  not  revile.

Larry  Stahl's  reception  executives

IZeeefdian  Catfunittee 

Whether  it  was  a  group  of  swimmers  from  Muhlen- 
berg, or  a  bevy  of  beauties  from  the  Fred  Waring  show, 
the  Reception  Committee  was  always  on  hand.  It  was 
their  duty  to  acquaint  the  visitors  in  a  few  hours  with  the 
main  points  of  interest  here,  as  well  as  to  provide  for  their 
comfort  and  well  being.  Often  called  upon  to  serve  as 
many  as  twelve  teams  per  weekend,  the  Committee  for- 
sook many  a  good  dragging  date  in  order  to  see  that  the 
guests  were  given  the  best  hospitality.  The  liaison  men 
for  the  public  gave  many  good  impressions  of  the  Regi- 
ment's abilities  as  a  host.

With  minds  filled  to  overflowing  with  academics,  it  is 
only  natural  that  we  should  turn  to  the  field  of  sports  for 
the  relaxation  and  health  so  necessary  to  men  of  the 


Navy.  Just  as  America  at  war  always  found  time  for  its 
traditional  sports  games,  so  has  the  Academy  kept  the 
athletic  fields  full  despite  the  war-accelerated  schedule.

When  the  first  Navy  cleat  rips  the  turf  to  inaugurate 
another  football  season,  the  Public  Relations  Detail  takes 
pencil  and  microphone  into  hand,  focuses  its  eight-power 
field  glasses,  and  settles  back  to  a  year  of  the  closest  co- 
operation with  the  nation's  press  and  radio  systems.  This 
close  contact  between  the  Regiment  and  the  scribes  re- 
ceived a  heavy  shot  in  the  arm  this  past  year  when  the 
Detail,  headed  by  Director  Clark  Tinch  and  Secretary 
Adam  Kulik,  extended  its  multitudinous  services  to  in- 
clude complete  coverage  of  any  and  all  sports  events  oc- 
curing  within  the  Yard.  Departing  from  its  traditional 
function  of  serving  as  liaison  between  Navy  football  and 
the  press  and  radio,  the  Public  Relations  Detail  this  year 
embraced  several  additional  services  designed  to  coordi- 
nate and  extend  the  coverage  of  sports  and  the  reception 
of  famous  guests  within  the  Yard  by  the  Regiment,  such 
as  President  Ramon  Grau  of  Cuba.  Members  kept  busy 
furnishing  special  write-ups,  publishing  the  Press  Dope 
Book  on  football,  and  in  general  making  the  newshawks 
happy.

"Navy  is  the  team  to  beat ..."  Sportscasters  and  coaches 
the  nation  over  heralded  us  as  the  football  team  of  the 
year,  weeks  before  the  season  started.  All  Head  Coach 
Oscar  Hagberg,  fresh  from  Pacific  submarine  duty,  had 
to  do  was  mold  his  plentiful  material  into  about  three 
teams.  Since  we  already  had  been  handed  all  the  honors, 
we  trotted  onto  the  field  for  our  first  game  completely 
confident  of  the  outcome.  However,  the  pink  clouds  on 
our  football  horizon  quickly  turned  into  stormy  thunder- 
heads  and  poured  rain  on  our  hopes  as  well  as  our  field 
as  North  Carolina  Pre-Flight  out-muddled  us.  We  met 
our  Waterloo  in  the  first  encounter.

In  our  next  encounter  we  actually  looked  like  the 
champions  we  were  supposed  to  be.  The  third  try  found 
us  squeezing  past  Duke  by  a  narrow  margin.  The  fourth 
battle  was  a  heart-breaker;  outplayed,  outgained,  but  not 
outscored,  Georgia  Tech  pulled  the  rabbit  from  the  hat 
to  outsmart  a  powerful  Navy  eleven. 

But  Rip  Miller's  great  Navy  line  found  itself  in  the 
Tech  game,  and  its  brutal  work  put  the  next  four  games 
in  the  win  column.  Then  it  was  Army  versus  Navy  for 
the  National  Championship.  We  entered  the  fray  grimly 
determined  to  prove  conclusively  that  we  were  the  team 
of  the  year.  We  fought,  and  we  lost.  But  we  showed  that 
we  had  the  stuff  of  which  champions  are  made.

Fourteen  thousand  rain  soaked  and  shivering  spectators 
showed  up  in  Thompson  stadium  to  watch  the  debut  of 
the  much-vaunted  Navy  team.  However,  the  bad 
weather  failed  to  stop  the  spectacular  passing  of  North 
Carolina's  Otto  Graham,  and  the  Pre-Flighters  hit  pay 
dirt  once  in  each  of  the  three  final  periods.  Bobby  Jenkins 
restored  the  faith  in  our  team  when  he  regained  control 
of  a  once-fumbled  ball  in  the  third  period  and  literally 
fought  his  way  down  to  the  9,  after  which  plunging  Joe 
Sullivan  carried  it  over.  Otto  Graham  was  Navy's  nemesis 
on  this  day,  and  he  provided  the  final  blow  with  a  field- 
run  lateral  combination  that  brought  his  team  their  final 
score.

Thompson  Stadium  had  its  last  game  of  the  season,  and 
a  capacity  crowd  saw  the  vengeful  Navy  team  trounce 
the  Nittany  Lions.  We  were  out  for  a  self-vindicating 
score  that  would  be  plenty  lop-sided,  and  in  no  quarter 
did  the  Blue  and  Gold  fail  to  chalk  up  more  points.  Ex- 
citing moments  were  plentiful— Jim  Pettit's  73  yard  run  for 
one  of  our  early  scores.  Vic  Finos  came  through  with  a 
fine  job  on  the  conversions,  making  a  total  of  seven  out 
of  the  eight  possible.  Avers  of  Penn  gave  the  crowd  a 
thrill  when  he  sprinted  for  73  yards  after  gathering  in  a 
Navy  fumble.  In  this  game,  the  Navy  team  began  to  look 
more  like  the  outfit  that  the  sports-writers  had  played  up 
in  pre-season  dope  as  the  most  promising  in  the  nation.

The  Navy  offense  still  lacked  the  punch  of  the  pre-sea- 
son  spectations  as  it  eked  out  a  7-0  win  over  the  powerful 
Blue  Devil  eleven  before  a  colorful  crowd  of  25,000  in 
Baltimore  Stadium.  A  record  of  six  fumbles  and  only 
three  recoveries  made  us  glad  that  the  game  was  played 
under  the  National  Collegiate  rules.  Hal  Hamberg  and 
Clyde  Scott  provided  the  impetus  for  our  only  scoring 
drive  that  came  in  the  second  quarter.  It  was  an  inexor- 
able 57  yard  march  from  the  place  where  Hal  first  took 
Carver's  punt,  and  Charley  Guy  rang  up  the  points  with 
an  18  yard  sprint  after  gathering  in  Hamberg's  pass.  Vic 
Finos  came  through  in  great  style  with  a  25  yard-line 
conversion,  after  the  Navy  team  had  been  set  back  by  a 
fumble.  Five  times  the  Devils  threatened  inside  our  25, 
but  the  constant  pressure  of  the  Tar  line  spelled  finis  to 
every  scoring  attempt.

October  21st  saw  the  Midshipmen  gathered  around 
their  radios  to  listen  to  one  of  the  most  exciting  struggles 
of  the  season.  For  60  minutes  of  fast  ball  where  anything 
could  and  did  happen,  they  listened  to  a  game  that  saw 
the  lead  change  hands  five  times.  Bob  Jenkins  grabbed 
the  opening  kick-off  and  galloped  83  yards  for  the  first 
score.  In  the  second  quarter,  the  versatile  Jackets  came 
back  to  a  7-6  lead.  After  half  time,  a  determined  Navy 
team  came  on  the  field  to  build  up  a  13-7  margin  of 
safety.  However,  an  unfortunate  pass  interference  gave 
Tech  the  ball  on  the  12  and  again  they  took  the  lead. 
Leon  Bramlett's  behind-the-goal-line  tackle  then  gave  us 
two  points  and  a  slight  margin,  but  this  was  not  the  end. 
Tech's  Allen  Bowen  made  good  a  field  goal,  and  the 
game  ended  in  a  heart-breaking  defeat  for  Navy,  despite 
a  Jenkins-and-Scott  inspired  drive  for  71  yards  that  was 
ended  two  yards  short  of  the  goal.

Sports  writers  accorded  the  twice-defeated  Navy  team 
little  chance  against  the  powerful  Perm  eleven  in  pre- 
game  write-ups.  However,  73,000  spectators  thought  it 
would  be  a  good  battle,  and  the  first  class  went  along  to 
lend  support.  A  fast  driving  backfield  and  a  not-to-be 
dented  line  got  together  to  knock  the  Penn  squad  from 
the  undefeated  ranks.  Clyde  Scott  started  the  ball  rolling 
with  a  surprise  quick  kick  on  first  down  that  put  Penn 
back  on  their  10.  A  bad  punt  gave  Navy  the  ball  on  the 
21,  and  Scott  bulled  his  way  through  to  the  inevitable 
score.  Again  in  the  third  quarter  and  twice  in  the  final 
period,  Navy  added  points  and  built  up  its  down-trodden 
reputation.  With  our  stalwart  line  holding  Penn  to  a 
minus  29  yards  rushing,  their  109  yards  through  the  air 
meant  little  when  stacked  up  against  a  Navy  total  of  348. 
The  first  class  returned  to  the  Academy  happy  in  the 
knowledge  that  they  had  seen  the  real  Navy  team  at 
work.

The  odds  were  still  against  the  "unpredictable"  Navy 
team  when  we  met  the  "Fightin'  Irish"  before  sixty-five 
thousand  eager  fans  in  Baltimore.  "The  end  of  a  Navy 
day"  saw  a  score  that  indicated  the  worse  beating  Notre 
Dame  had  ever  received  from  a  Navy  team.  For  the  first 
time  since  1936  and  the  fourth  time  in  the  18  year  old 
series,  Navy  rolled  to  victory  over  the  Irish,  and  it  was  a 
happy  bunch  of  Navy  supporters  that  watched  that  game. 
Power  drives  by  Bobby  Jenkins  and  Clyde  Scott  through 
the  center  of  the  line,  combined  with  Bill  Barron's  off- 
tackle  reverses  and  fake  reverses  paved  the  way  for  most 
of  our  scores.  Notre  Dame's  Dancewicz  gave  us  plenty 
of  bad  moments  with  his  precision  passing,  as  he  man- 
aged to  complete  15  out  of  31  tries.  Bob  Kelley  made 
both  scores  for  the  Irish  but  these  two  together  could  not 
make  sufficient  headway  through  a  determined  Navy 
line.  Our  backfield  rolled  up  a  startling  total  of  382  yards 
to  prove  by  statistics  that  the  overwhelming  victorv  indi- 
cated by  the  score  was  absolutely  correct.

After  Notre  Dame,  all  thoughts  were  turned  toward 
the  forthcoming  battle  with  Army.  However,  before  then 
the  Navy  team  still  had  to  cope  with  two  formidable  op- 
ponents. In  the  Cornell  game,  Navy  unleashed  its  aerial 
attack  for  the  first  time  and  managed  to  salt  up  a  total  of 
48  points.  The  hard  fighting  Cornell  eleven  was  just  not 
able  to  stand  the  onslaught  of  the  59  players  that  took 
the  field  for  Navy.  An  otherwise  dull  first  half  was 
sparked  by  Bobby  Jenkins'  pass  to  Ben  Martin,  and  a 
short  line  plunge  by  Bobby  that  took  the  ball  over  for 
our  first  score.  After  mid-game  time,  Navy  really  came  to 
life  with  a  sixty-five  yard  march  for  the  third  tally.  Bruce 
Smith  made  a  neat  lateral  to  Dick  Duden  that  provided 
more  points  for  the  already  lopsided  score.  The  driving 
power  of  the  subs  kept  the  total  going  up  until  the  final 
whistle  blew.

The  Boilermakers  were  all  set  to  provide  plenty  of  hard 
opposition  for  the  Navy  team,  but  they  were  not  able  to 
stop  the  hard  driving  backs  led  by  Hal  Hamberg.  Hal 
had  been  on  the  bench  for  a  good  part  of  the  season  due 
to  a  leg  injury  received  in  practice,  but  he  was  the  lead- 
ing ground  gainer  of  the  day  as  he  picked  up  97  yards 
through  the  Purdue  line.  They  outweighed  us  nine 
pounds  to  the  man,  but  weight  was  not  enough.  Again 
the  Navy  attack  was  supported  by  aerial  maneuvers  as 
Ben  Martin  caught  passes  from  Hamberg  and  Bruce 
Smith  and  trotted  over  the  line  for  points.  Charlie  Riehl 
and  Markel  came  in  near  the  end  of  the  game  to  form  a 
passing  combination  that  gave  us  the  final  score.  The 
stalwart  Navy  line  held  Purdue  down  to  166  yards 
gained,  while  the  Navy  backs  garnered  a  total  of  434 
yards.

Sports  'writers  and  the  Treasury  Department  worked 
together  to  whip  up  interest  for  the  most  highly  vaunted 
football  clash  of  many  a  season.  Two  weeks  before  the 
game  a  White  House  order  shifted  the  game  from  re- 
stricted Annapolis  to  Baltimore  in  the  interest  of  the 
Sixth  War  Loan  Drive.  Seventy  thousand  fans  paid 
fifty-eight  million  dollars  to  witness  this  spectacle  which 
was  to  bring  together  for  the  first  time  since  Pearl  Harbor 
the  Corps  of  Cadets  and  the  Regiment  of  Midshipmen. 
Doug  Rodgers'  Pep  Committee  brought  the  feeling  to  a 
climax  on  the  eve  of  the  big  game  with  a  colorful  rally 
in  Tecumseh  court,  complete  with  flares,  Bill  IX,  and  all 
the  trimmings.  When  the  whistle  blew  to  start  the  game,

there  were  plenty  of  loyal  rooters  for  both  Academies. 
Navy  supporters  were  badly  disappointed  when  Bobby 
Jenkins  hurt  his  leg  in  the  first  few  minutes  and  was  car- 
ried from  the  field.  Another  set-back  followed  when 
Don  Whitmire  wrenched  his  knee  and  was  forced  from 
the  fray.  Army  showed  their  power  in  the  first  quarter  by 
driving  for  the  initial  score.  After  half-time,  the  navy  back- 
field  came  forth  with  a  75-yard  juggernaut  push  that  cul- 
minated in  7  points.  Hamberg  and  Scott  continually 
sparked  a  team  that  kept  driving  into  Army  territory. 
However,  the  never-say-die  spirit  of  the  Tars  was  not 
quite  enough  to  stem  the  Kaydet  tide.  The  final  whistle 
officially  gave  Army  its  first  victory  over  Navy  in  six  years.

It's  a  long  way  from  afternoon  practice  on  Lawrence 
Field  to  an  Eastern  Intercollegiate  championship,  but 
Tommy  Taylor  and  his  "men  with  educated  toes"  went 
right  to  the  top,  leaving  in  their  wake  a  defeated  Army 
team.  Tommy  had  plenty  of  good  material  with  which 
to  work— Captain  Bob  Leuschner,  George  Reaves,  and 
Art  Calisto— the  South  American  wonder— were  All- Amer- 
icans. Combined  with  these  were  lettermen  DeMayo  and 
Nicklas  to  form  the  nucleus  of  a  smooth-functioning 
machine-like  team.  More  soccer-wise  men  with  previous 
experience  were  Rogers,  Kappock,  Albright,  Marousek, 
Wiedemann,  Vanderwolk,  and  Castano.  Put  them  all  to- 
gether, and  you  had  the  '45  squad— a  combination  of  a 
fast-passing,  vicious-shooting  line  backed  up  by  hard- 
working and  good-kicking  defensive  backs.  These  were 
the  men  that  spent  most  of  the  games  playing  their  hard- 
est against  the  best  the  East  had  to  offer.  Behind  them 
were  many  more.  Martel,  Pffeferkorn,  Killefer,  Meisel, 
Rae,  Zeni,  Anderson,  Avey,  Smith,  and  Graham  were  out- 
standing members  of  that  hustling  "blue"  team  that  gave 
the  first  string  many  bad  moments  in  practice.

CROSS  COUNTRY  ^W  well 


Capt.  Dempsey  and  Mgr.  Wesson 


The  Navy  harriers  got  off  to  a  fast  start  this  year,  and 
didn't  slow  down  until  they  had  garnered  as  many  cham- 
pionships in  the  cross  country  field  as  were  available.  A 
victory  over  North  Carolina  Pre-Flight  provided  the  be- 
ginning, and  from  there  on  it  was  one  success  after  an- 
other. In  four  dual  meets,  Navy  had  five  fast  men  across 
the  line  before  the  first  adversary  got  into  the  home 
stretch.  The  big  test  showed  up  in  the  form  of  the  I.C. 
4-A,  but  nothing  anyone— including  Army— had  to  offer 
could  stop  Walter  Barry  and  Dick  Hall  from  leading  the 
team  right  into  a  first  place.  Captain  Curran  Dempsey, 
not  to  be  outdone,  paced  the  field  when  Navy  success- 
fully defended  its  National  Senior  A.A.U.  Championship 
a  little  later.  The  steady  running  of  men  like  Parker 
Smith,  Nick  Smusyn,  and  Jimmy  Brummer  sparked  the 
team  throughout  the  season.  Together,  they  made  a 
record  of  which  Coach  Earle  Thomson  could  well  be 
proud.

A  lull  BASKETBALL  *cUU* 


As  early  as  their  first  game  against  Maryland  Uni- 
versity,  Navy  showed  promise  of  plenty  of  victories  to 
come.  Already  the  team  was  rounding  into  shape  with  a 
coordinated  offensive.  Although  Captain  Flynn  of  Mary- 
land made  17  points,  his  cohorts  couldn't  break  past  the 
close  playing  of  Dick  Duden  and  Ernie  Litty.  Meanwhile, 
Navy  was  using  four  teams  to  bring  the  score  to  a  70-33 
count. 

Coming  all  the  way  from  Mexico  City,  the  players  of 
Penthalon  Military  Academy  entered  into  a  free-scoring 
contest  with  Navy's  Howe  and  Carroll  and  their  expert 
but  confusing  ball  handling  lending  excitement  to  the 
game  while  the  crowd  cheered  on  "Hosea"  Hernandez  to 
score  27  points.  However,  this  was  hardly  enough  to 
stave  off  Navy's  76-50  victory  march.  Hapless  Villanova 
was  next  to  yield  beneath  the  barrage  of  Navy's  baskets 
by  a  score  of  71-28. 

The  following  Wednesday  Navy  met  with  stiffer  op- 
position from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  Captain 
Dallmar  of  the  visitors  kept  our  defense  hopping  with 
bullet-like  passes  to  his  team-mates,  but  Navy's  veteran 
guards  were  more  than  equal  to  the  task.  At  the  same 
time  Duden  was  collecting  7  field  goals  to  pace  the  Navy 
scorers. 

When  Navy  clashed  with  Duke  it  was  the  Blue  Devils 
that  made  the  frequent  substitutions.  Coach  Wilson  de- 
pended on  the  team  standbys  to  clinch  the  54-43  victory. 
By  now  the  team  seemed  well  launched  on  a  near  perfect

down  fighting,  60-27.  McKay  shared  the  scoring  honors 
with  a  combined  total  of  24  points. 

On  the  first  and  only  game  away  from  the  hardwood 
court  of  Dahlgren,  Captain  Litty's  men  didn't  seem  the 
least  bothered  by  the  strange  atmosphere.  Columbia  was 
the  seventh  straight  victim  of  Navy.  Score,  50-44.  The 
next  week,  Temple  threatened  to  terminate  Navy's  win- 
ning streak.  Throughout  the  game  the  lead  changed 
hands  rapidly.  A  much  needed  24  points  was  contributed 
by  forward  Perry  Nelson.  Paced  by  his  accurate  left- 
handed  push  shots,  the  Tars  forged  ahead  in  the  last  ten 
minutes  of  play  for  a  55-47  victory. 

A  mid-season  slack  seemed  to  catch  up  with  the  team 
after  the  60-40  victory  over  the  mountaineers  from  West 
Virginia.  However,  the  Muhlenberg  "Mules"  provided  a 
rude  awakening.  For  the  first  time  a  zone  defense  had 
effectively  bottled  up  Navy's  scoring  machine.  Despite 
this  fact,  a  thrilling  comeback  slowly  cut  down  a  ten

point  lead.  All  the  fancy  passing  and  trick  shots  were 
necessary  to  pull  a  40-33  win  over  the  "Mules"  in  that 
last  half. 

The  North  Carolina  Pie-Flight  team  with  their  strong 
defensive  playing  caused  the  Navy  forwards  a  lot  of 
trouble.  Although  Navy  led  the  entire  game  by  a  small 
margin,  a  bare  42-38  victory  was  sweated  out.  Fordham 
proved  an  easier  foe,  succumbing  to  a  73  point  barrage 
while  being  held  to  28  points  themselves.  The  unlucky 
thirteenth  game  with  Bainbridge  Naval  Training  Station 
was  Navy's  Waterloo.  Holcomb  got  loose  under  the  Navy 
basket  too  many  times  and  set  the  stage  for  Bainbridge's 
victorv.

It  seemed  misfortune  was  still  dogging  the  Navy  five 
as  they  entered  the  fateful  game  with  Army.  The  stakes 
were  high.  Besides  the  traditional  rivalry,  there  was  an 
added  incentive:  each  team  had  only  one  mar  on  its 
record  and  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate  Championship 
had  yet  to  be  won.  Dahlgren  was  filled  to  overflowing, 
and  the  game  was  broadcast  more  extensively  than  any 
previous  game  in  basketball  history. 

Perry  Nelson,  who  scored  17  points  before  he  was 
taken  out  on  personal  fouls,  started  off  the  scoring.  Eleven 
times  the  lead  changed  hands.  At  the  half  Navy  led 
25-24.  With  three  minutes  of  playing  time  remaining 
Doug  Kenna  and  Bob  Dobbs  had  stretched  an  Army 
scoring  spree  to  a  49-41  tally.  Dick  Duden  sank  three 
free  throws  to  one  by  Dobbs.  Both  Litty  and  Howe  then 
sank  long  shots  to  cut  Army's  margin  to  a  50-48  count. 
The  entire  Navy  team  strove  desperately  in  those  last  few 
seconds  to  tie  up  the  score.  But  the  gun  sounded  the 
end  of  the  game  as  Adgie  Back  tried  a  long  shot  from 
the  center  of  the  court  which  missed  the  hoop  by  three 
inches.

Continuing  Navy's  undefeated  record  of  1944,  this 
year's  powerful  Eastern  Intercollegiate  Championship 
team  completely  outclassed  all  opposition  in  the  East. 
Captain  Johnny  Hale's  deadly  head  scissors  made  him 
high  scorer  for  the  season  and  Eastern  Intercollegiate 
Champion.  Mickey  MacDonald,  three  time  EI  Champ, 
boasts  a  record  of  eighty-nine  wins  to  one  loss.  Another 
champ  was  Oscar  Greene  who  amazed  wrestling  fans  by 
trimming  the  vaunted  Fred  Barkovitch  twice.  In  the 
heavyweight  class,  Bo  Coppedge  won  all  his  matches 
with  falls,  while  Swede  Hansen  alternated  with  him  in 
that  weight.  Jim  Foust  and  George  Fogelsong  swept  the 
opposition  with  their  aggressive  styles.

"Kkep  that  arm  straight  when  you  lunge  this  time!" 
This  might  have  been  Coach  Deladrier  or  his  assistant, 
Coach  Fiems,  instructing  just  about  any  member  of  the 
foil  fencing  squad.  To  the  epee  men,  this  advice  was 
quite  the  opposite  of  what  they  needed,  and  the  only  ad- 
vice  that  could  be  given  to  the  sabremen  was  simply 
"hack  as  hack  can." 

f'Yncing  was  really  three  distinct  sports  with  but  a 
single  objective— get  the  other  man  before  he  gets  you. 
The  split  second  attacks  and  parries  defied  the  eyesight 
of  the  most  keen  spectators,  and  was  frequently  too  quick 
for  the  eagle-eyed  judges.  This  year's  team,  captained  by 
Jack  Enyart,  was  not  brilliant  merely  because  of  a  few 
outstanding  individuals,  but  brilliant  because  the  entire 
team  was  outstanding.  Robinson,  Van  Sickle,  and  Stock- 
well  did  top-flight  work  in  the  foil  class;  Enyart,  Stickles, 
and  Cummings  were  always  on  top  in  epee;  while  Lind-

The  Academy's  mermen  were  out  to  make  a  good  sea- 
son out  of  it  this  year,  and  there  was  plenty  of  good  ma- 
terial available.  Coach  Henry  Ortland,  who  has  coached 
many  a  top-flight  swimming  team,  was  ready  to  train  his 
men  into  a  fast-moving,  water-churning  outfit  that  would 


be  able  to  go  to  the  top  in  the  Eastern  intercollegiate 
matches.  Captain  Brock  Mott  and  Bob  Cowell  started  off 
the  list  of  the  varsity  pool  men,  and  these  two  were  con- 
sistently on  top  in  backstroke  competition  for  a  valuable 
one-two.  Capsize  the  backstroke,  and  you  have  the  breast 
stroke  men,  better  known  as  those  adept  at  the  butterfly. 
Jack  Pavelle,  Emil  Eyler  and  Mac  McCallum  snared  the 
major  honors  in  this  field,  and  could  always  be  counted 
on  to  garner  their  share  of  the  points.  The  medley  relay 
teams  brought  together  some  of  the  best  talent  in  all  the 
different  types  of  swimming.  Bob  Cowell,  Warren  Ort- 
land,  and  Jim  Carrington  used  their  strokes  to  best  ad- 
vantage in  this  event.  The  short  distance  men  start  off 
with  the  50-yard  sprinters,  where  Jack  Butner,  Ollie  Hal- 
lett  and  Bill  Kanakanui  really  threw  the  spray  during 
their  high-speed  runs.  In  the  correlated  and  graceful 
diving  events,  Bob  Baker  and  Frank  Kelley  continually 
grabbed  the  first  two  places.  Then  there  were  the  dis- 
tance events,  where  Ross  Miller  and  Neal  Thompson  did 
the  440  with  a  powerful  backstroke.  In  the  free  style, 
Carrington,  Mize,  Hallett,  and  Hull  were  always  on  hand 
with  a  high-powered  performance.

Our  gym  team  had  quite  a  record  to  uphold  when  the 
official  season  began.  The  preceding  team  had  walked 
away  with  the  Eastern  collegiate  championship  and  in 
the  same  meet  had  defeated  the  Army  in  Macdonough 
Hall.  This  was  a  high  mark  to  sight  on,  but  this  year's 
squad  was  determined  to  do  as  well.  When  the  season 
began,  there  were  six  returning  lettermen,  led  by  Captain 
Fran  Dougherty.  With  these  top-flight  gymsters,  last

"Chet"  Phillips  and  John  Rammacher  were  able  to  build 
up  an  outstanding  team. 

There  was  keen  competition  within  the  team  for  the 
number  one  spot  on  all  the  various  pieces  of  apparatus. 
Bill  Fryer  led  the  field  on  the  side  horse,  while  Dick 
Dunning  and  youngster  Tom  Fortson  shared  honors  on 
the  horizontal  bars.  The  quick  and  agile  rope  climbers 
were  paced  by  Tom  Peace  and  Snipe  Hoffman.  Captain 
Fran  Dougherty  and  Fortson  were  two  other  varsity  men 
that  turned  in  consistently  good  performances  in  their 
event.  The  swingsters,  better  known  as  the  "daring 
young  men  on  the  flying  rings,"  were  topped  by  Ed  Mou- 
ton  and  Bill  Pitt.  Both  of  these  men  put  on  many  thrilling 
exhibitions  for  the  spectators  during  their  popular  meets. 
"Soupy"  Campbell,  known  to  all  as  the  head  cheerleader, 
Dick  Dana,  and  plebe  Ed  Freeman  led  the  best  group 
of  tumblers  that  a  Navy  team  has  had  for  many  seasons. 

These  men  combined  their  respective  abilities  to  pro- 
duce a  team  that  would  delight  any  lover  of  the  precision

Dougherty's  men  went  through  a  hard  schedule  with 
relatively  few  setbacks,  giving  every  opponent  a  hard 
fight  in  all  events.  The  last  meet,  held  against  Army  at 
West  Point,  was  the  hardest  of  all  to  take.  After  many 
weeks  of  preparation,  the  gymsters  lost  a  hard-fought 
battle  to  the  Kaydets.

BASEBALL  jfoUvuki 

There  was  plenty  of  material  for  the  baseball  season, 
and  Coach  Max  Bishop's  only  problem  was  to  whip  it 
into  shape  with  the  right  combinations.  At  the  advent  of 
the  summer  season  many  new  plebes  were  on  hand  to 
exercise  their  skill  with  the  Tar  nine,  and  these  new- 
comers took  over  the  first  varsity  games  while  the  upper- 
classmen  were  shaking  the  salt  out  of  their  hair  and  sharp- 
ening up  the  lax  muscles  from  cruise.  The  final  team  was 
a  promising  looking  outfit,  but  it  was  not  until  they  had 
the  first  game  under  their  belts  that  they  began  to  get  the 
necessary  coordination  and  drive  for  a  tough  nine  game 
schedule. 

Lanny  Zech,  last  year's  captain,  Herb  Mills,  Don 
Hineman,  and  Paul  Burdette  had  left  their  baseball  uni- 
forms behind  for  a  bigger  job  at  sea.  Also  footballers 
Vic  Finos,  Dick  Duden,  Jay  McKie,  and  Bruce  Smith 
had  abandoned  the  diamond  for  the  summer  to  take  their 
positions  on  the  gridiron.  But,  in  spite  of  a  few  player 
losses,  a  mighty  team  was  moulded  into  winning  style 
by  former  major  leaguer  Max  Bishop.  Coach  Bishop 
was  almost  three-deep  in  every  position  and  his  greatest 
perplexity  was  in  separating  the  best  from  the  good.  The 
competition  among  the  players  was  kept  keen  in  the 
hope  of  gaining  the  experience  necessary  for  a  starting 
position  on  an  even  stronger  spring  team. 

The  summer  schedule  at  Annapolis  is  primarily  to 
seek  out  new  material  and  give  the  promising  plebes  a

little  experience  with  the  varsity  in  preparation  for  the 
spring  schedule.  No  urging  is  necessary  to  get  enough 
men  on  the  field  because  a  true  baseball  player  loves  the 
game  more  than  he  loves  to  eat.  The  war  has  exercised 
limitations  on  games  and  players,  but  its  popularity  has 
not  witnessed  any  slump. 

Looking  back  a  few  years  we  find  baseball's  debut  to 
the  Naval  Academy  as  an  inter-class  sport  in  1871.  Not 
until  1901  did  it  become  a  varsity  athletic  event  and  that 
same  year  marks  the  first  Army-Navy  ball  game.  Since 
then  thirty-seven  of  these  inter-service  classics  have  been 
played,  Army  having  won  twenty-two  to  Navy's  fifteen. 
The  game  has  improved  through  the  years  to  keep  pace 
with  the  other  major  sports  of  the  Academy  and  Navy 
has  established  an  honorable  position  in  the  Eastern  In- 
tercollegiate competition. 

Remember  the  spring  of  '44  when  the  greylegs  came 
to  Crabtown  to  revenge  the  loss  of  the  season  before  by 
exactly  the  same  score?  But  let's  take  a  look  at  the  men 
who  are  remembered  best.  Dale  Mueller,  the  mighty 
hurler  who  just  had  an  off  day  against  Army,  was  warm- 
ing up  at  the  first  call  to  this  spring's  baseball  in  an  effort 
to  improve  on  that  five  won  and  three  lost  record.  He 
took  it  easy  at  first  to  prevent  any  bad  effects  from  an

injury  incurred  last  fall  in  battalion  football.  Connie  Tay- 
lor, who  relieved  Mueller  in  that  game,  was  also  back  for 
another  season  on  the  mound.  His  record  last  spring  was 
four  wins  and  no  losses.  "Rabbit"  Currv,  Wirt  Thayer 
and  Jack  Coulter  round  out  the  players  who  "remem- 
bered Army"  and  were  using  the  summer  to  prime  them- 
selves for  revenge. 

The  active  pitching  staff  for  the  summer  games  was 
increased  by  Frahler,  Metzger  and  Phillips.  Navy's  six 
won,  three  lost  record  is  proof  enough  of  their  ability. 
Plebe  Andy  Frahler  gained  mound  fame  in  the   17-4

Princetoo  game  while  the  Bobs,  Phillips  and  Metzger, 
took  two  each  of  the  last  four  games.  These  last  four 
victories  were  won  over  Baltimore  American  Legion, 
Spring  Grove,  Johns  Hopkins  and  Govans  of  Baltimore. 

But  Frahler  contributed  more  than  pitching  ability  to 
the  midshipmen's  record.  Batting  .324  he  stood  at  the 
top  of  the  "runs  batted  in"  column  with  a  total  of  eight. 
Jack  Coulter,  batting  .368,  stood  second  with  seven  for 
the  season.  But  Bruce  Winner's  average  of  .538  in  four 
games  played  gave  him  undisputed  batting  honors;  plebe 
slugger  Bob  Bryan  was  runner-up  in  that  department 
with  a  .428  average.  Searle,  Spahr,  Alberts,  Middleton, 
and  Curry  were  constant  worries  to  opposing  pitchers  and 
strong  factors  on  Navy's  scoring  end. 

The  receiving  end  of  the  Tar  batteries  was  shared 


by  Coulter  and  Spahr,  the  number  one  backstop,  Vic 
Finos,  having  signed  up  to  toe  the  pigskin.  Both  at  the  call 
for  spring  warm-ups,  Vic  was  on  hand  with  Coulter, 
Spahr,  Winner,  and  Woods  to  train  the  pitching  arms. 

The  summer  season  found  the  initial  sack  covered 
with  much  quality  as  well  as  quantity.  Plebe  Bob  Bryan, 
ex-University  of  Virginia  player,  was  exceptionally  well 
qualified.  Cee  Dee  Alberts  and  Cliff  Duncan  were  strong 
backer-uppers.  Plebe  Hill  withdrew  from  summer  train- 
ing early  for  football  but  he  was  on  hand  in  the  spring 
to  give  plenty  of  competition  to  those  who  had  estab- 
lished a  claim  on  first.  Second  base  was  dominated  by 
Ed  "Army"  Armstrong.  It  was  no  small  assignment  to 
fill  former  Captain  Zech's  boots,  but  Armstrong's  field- 
ing and  batting  eye  secured  the  spot  for  him.    Behind

him  were  Bill  St.  George  and  Hap  Wenke.  Hal  "Rabbit" 
Curry  made  the  hot  corner  his  roaming  ground  and  his 
rifle  arm  proved  the  wisdom  of  his  choice. 

Jay  McKie  or  Dick  Middleton?  The  shortstop  assign- 
ment was  a  continuous  contest  between  the  two  capable 
men.  It  was  McKie  by  a  nose  as  one  of  the  hottest  infield 
prospects  in  recent  years  got  the  starting  call.  Middle- 
ton  did  a  bang-up  job  during  the  summer  while  McKie 
was  on  the  gridiron. 

There  was  no  problem  in  centerfield.  Wirt  Thayer 
had  it  under  full  control.  Wirt  was  a  savoir  at  covering 
ground  and  one  of  the  most  consistent  hitters  in  the  line- 
up. The  flanking  positions  took  their  shape  around  him. 
Captain  Jake  Jacobus  and  the  three-letter-man  Dick 
"Monster"  Duden  usually  galloped  around  the  other  two 
pastures,  being  spelled  off  occasionally  by  Frahler  and

moving  into  the  infield  had  necessity  warranted. 

Such  was  the  material  with  which  Coach  Bishop 
opened  up  the  spring  season  of  '45.  A  nineteen-game 
schedule  lay  ahead  with  Navy's  biggest  target  at  the  end. 
With  sights  adjusted  on  the  Point,  the  Tars  passed  each 
obstacle,  either  professional  team  or  college  team,  in 
hopes  of  gaining  new  tactics  to  tumble  the  grevlegs.  The 
two  and  three  game  per  week  schedule  was  a  strong  con- 
ditioner which  gave  little  time  off  to  get  stale.  As  the 
season  got  underway  it  looked  as  if  it  were  a  banner  year 
in  Navy  baseball.

Many  long  hours  of  practice  lay  between  the  first 
rowing  machine  workouts  in  Hubbard  Hall  and  the 
Spring  day  when  the  flashing  oars  propelled  the  sleek 
shells  up  the  Severn  in  the  big  crew  regattas.  The  after 
effects  of  Christmas  leave  were  still  apparent  when  the 
six-footers  gathered  in  the  crew  house  for  their  prelim- 
inary training.  Most  of  the  practicing  had  to  be  done

Buck  Walsh,  who  has  been  coaching  here  since  1926, 
started  out  this  year's  squad  with  plenty  of  good  material 
from  the  boats  of  last  season.  Buck  prophesied  plenty  of 
competition  for  the  berths  in  the  number  one  shell  that 
would  compete  in  the  intercollegiate  regattas.  Kennedy 
and  Vanderwolk  were  both  varsity  men  last  year,  and 
the  coxswain,  Stevenson,  had  plenty  of  experience  in 
piloting  the  slim  craft  around  the  rivers.  Ferch,  Jack- 
son, and  Quigley  rowed  JV  last  season,  and  were  all  ready

for  a  try  at  varsity  berths.  Besides  these,  there  were 
plenty  more  who  spent  every  afternoon  behind  the  oars 
in  their  attempt  to  win  one  of  the  varsity  seats. 

Races  against  Columbia  and  Massachusetts  Institute 
of  Technology  were  scheduled,  as  well  as  the  regatta  at 
Ithaca  that  involved  MIT,  Columbia,  and  Cornell.  Pro- 
visions were  also  made  to  enter  a  JV  crew  in  each  of  these 
races.  Before  the  races,  Jim  Manning,  plebe  coach,  and 
Bill  Wiedefeld  were  kept  busy  repairing  the  often-dam- 
aged craft.  Crewmen  remember  well  the  time  they  re- 
built almost  entirely  the  "Shamrock"  and  "Little  Mac- 
Innis"  after  they  broke  in  two  during  a  squall.  Helping 
them  was  Jack  Lynch,  varsity  manager,  who  also  had  a 
full-time  job  keeping  track  of  the  over-sized  squad.

It  was  just  before  the  Eastern  Intercollegiate  matches 
of  the  '44  season  that  Coach  James  left  his  job  with  the 
plebes  to  take  over  the  varsity  squad  from  Hendrix.  From 
there,  James  took  his  team  right  to  the  Championship, 
making  it  their  third  consecutive  year  as  the  title-holders. 
This  year,  aided  by  Chief  Chapin,  he  was  all  ready  with 
the  East's  most  powerful  team  to  make  it  four  times  in  a 
row.  Standout  men  like  Captain  Bud  Edwards  and  Bob 
Crawford  together  with  lettermen  Rogers,  Norris,  Davis, 
and  Doyle,  formed  the  nucleus  of  a  squad  that  was  all 
ready  for  the  big  contests  with  Navy's  toughest  oppon- 
ents—North Carolina,  Princeton,  and  Army.  The  last 
game  on  the  schedule  with  the  Kaydets  promised  to  be  a 
plenty  close  fight,  and  the  team  was  all  set  to  make  it  a 
repetition  of  last  year's  performance.  Backed  up  with 
plenty  of  secondary  material,  the  varsity  players  formed 
a  hard-driving  squad  that  could  give  any  opponent  plenty 
of  hard  hours  on  the  court.

GOLF   cH/Uved.  and  fuditi 

A  new  18-hole  golf  course  completed,  a  flock  of  return- 
ing lettermen,  an  excellent  coach,  and  souls  eager  for  the 
feel  of  a  long  drive  produced  the  polished  and  skilled 
golf  team  that  made  its  bid  for  intercollegiate  dominance. 
Under  Captain  Dave  Rankin's  leadership,  the  squad  re- 
moved the  struggling  opposition  with  ease.  Oscar  Carr, 
Dave  Walker,  and  M.  T.  Johnson  turned  in  low  score 
cards  consistently.  Every  afternoon  intersquad  competi- 
tion was  keen,  but  it  was  in  the  matches  that  the  golfers 
excelled.  Commander  McCombs'  avid  interest  in  the 
squad  as  officer  representative  gave  the  fellows  that  addi- 
tional spark  of  improvement  and  Coach  Bob  Williams 
straightened  out  the  players'  irons  for  those  smooth  and 
lusty  drives  from  the  tee  and  the  calculated  putts  on  the

theory  that  you  can't  do  two  things  well  at  one  time.

LACROSSE  dick  me*t 

We  always  shoot  for  a  star,  and  the  ambitions  of  our 
1944  Lacrosse  squad  were  that  high.  A  fine  string  of  vic- 
tories fell  to  the  Navy  team;  in  fact  the  slate  was  clean 
until  Johns  Hopkins  visited  Annapolis.  That  loss  we 
were  able  to  avenge  some  weeks  later  in  a  return  engage- 
ment in  Baltimore.  At  this  point  a  close  race  developed 
with  Army  for  the  National  Championship,  the  situation 
lending  fire  to  an  already  warm  rivalry.  The  climax  was 
a  red-hot  game  at  West  Point.  Though  the  Blue  and 
Gold  fought  like  demons  from  Dante's  Inferno,  they 
couldn't  cool  the  luck  of  the  Kaydets.  The  results  left 
Navy  swearing  revenge  in  '45. 

In  1945  the  squad  was  out  long  before  the  snow  had 
melted,  to  work  out  combinations  for  the  attack,  mid- 
field  play,  and  defense.  Angie  Lamond,  coaching  the 
defense  men,  organized  a  brilliant  defense  corps  built 
around  All-American  Charlie  Guy,  Dave  Barksdale,  and 
Bill  Culp.    Dinty's  attackers  were  likewise  experienced

men— Bill  Graham,  Adrian  Back,  Eli  Kirk,  Fred  Koch, 
Mai  Brown,  Bruce  Althoff,  and  John  Houpt.  It  took  no 
lacrosse  expert  to  recognize  another  great  team  in  the 
making. 

The  midfield  had  yet  to  be  developed.  There  the  po- 
tential strength  seemed  to  be  centered  in  some  combina- 
tion of  the  understudies  of  the  graduates.  Herb  Stiles, 
George  Mayo,  Bob  Welander,  Bob  Horner,  and  Hugh 
Cullman  headed  the  available  talent.  "X"  Ward  and 
Walt  Schirra,  possessed  with  the  stamina  so  essential  to 
the  game,  were  recognized  contenders  for  first  line  posi- 
tions in  this  division  of  the  squad. 

Our  goalie  was  one  of  the  best  in  the  nation,  "Killer" 
Albright,  a  returning  first  string  letterman.  Few  goals 
got  by  him  last  year,  but  he  vowed  that  even  less  would 
pass  him  this  season.  A  number  of  plebe  and  JV  players 
rounded  out  the  varsity  squad.  Jim  Carrington,  All-Amer- 
ican from  Cornell,  joined  the  Navy  ranks.  Remaining  JV 
first  stringers  included  Ray  Spicer,  Bob  Webster,  Al 
Kulik,  and  Brian  Kane.

The  1945  season  presented  a  rising  crescendo  of  hard 
fighting  opponents  to  the  Ham  'n  Eggers.  Maryland, 
Johns  Hopkins,  and  the  inevitable  Army  presented  teams 
of  skill  and  experience.  Navy  faced  them  with  its  one 
forte— true  power  and  spirit  to  match  any  advantage.  The 
Army  game,  played  on  home  grounds,  brought  the  Regi- 
ment out  in  full  force  in  an  attempt  to  avenge  the  loss 
of  the  game  and  Championship  last  year.

TRACK  Jtaii 


Spring  of  '44  found  the  Navy  with  the  greatest  track 
team  in  history.  Having  won  meet  after  meet,  our  thinly 
clads  reached  an  all  time  high,  when  on  May  26  they  not 
only  became  the  first  service  school  team  to  win  the 
IC4A  outdoor  championship,  but  did  so  in  such  a  decisive 
manner  that  their  final  score,  81  points,  was  the  greatest 
total  ever  amassed  in  the  history  of  the  IC4A  meets.  The 
favored  Army  team,  which  took  second  in  the  intercol- 
legiates,  went  down  again  under  the  Navy's  attack  a  week 
later  at  Annapolis,  scoring  52  to  our  winning  74  in  the 
annual  dual  meet. 

In  those  meets,  the  power  that  was  to  make  itself  ir- 
resistible in  the  spring  was  displayed.  "Moose"  Caskey, 
running  one  of  the  finest  races  of  his  career,  came  from 
behind  to  win  the  600-yard  event,  leaving  the  Mars  and 
Thunder  boys'  Berger  well  behind.  Bert  Atkinson  copped 
the  high  jump  crown  with  a  6'  \"  leap  and  Fred  Bouw-

man's  22'  11&"  won  the  broad  jump  hands  down.  The 
Navy  track  squad's  unmarred  spring  included  victories 
over  Villanova  and  Penn  State  in  April,  followed  by  a 
winning  score  in  a  triangular  meet  with  Duke  and  North 
Carolina  Pre-Flight.  A  week  after  that  the  Pre-Flight  men 
combined  with  the  Tarheels  against  the  Navy,  but  to  no 
avail.  It  was  in  this  meet  that  cross  country  captain  Walt 
Barry  came  within  a  half  second  of  tying  the  Academy's 
record  for  the  mile,  running  it  in  4:17.1. 

Next  came  the  IC4A's  at  Philadelphia,  where  a 
favored  Army  team  and  all  other  contestants  succumbed 
to  the  drive  of  Navy's  track  men.  George  Brown  upset 
the  dopesters  by  winning  the  discus,  and  broad  jumper 
Bouwman  planted  his  heels  23'  IVi"  ahead  of  the  take-off 
point  to  cinch  that  event.  The  anti-climactic  Army  meet 
of  the  next  week  had  at  least  thrill,  however,  when  Navy's 
Sessions  pole  vaulted  himself  to  a  place  in  the  sun  with 
a  jump  of  14',  the  highest  pole  vault  ever  made  by  a 
midshipman,  breaking  the  Army-Navy  dual  meet  record. 

In  '45,  there  were  many  notables  returning.  Walt 
Barry  was  the  first  man  to  captain  the  cross  country 
team  during  youngster  year  since  World  War  I,  and 
N-star  winner,  IC4A  cross  country  and  mile  champ 
rounded  out  his  achievements.  Back  for  his  last  year, 
also,  Bob  "The  Gazelle"  Banks,  high  hurdler  deluxe  was 
another  stalwart  who  won  the  outdoor  hurdle  IC4A 
championship  youngster  year.  Cross  country  captain 
Curran  Dempsey,  though  suffering  from  shin  splints, 
made  his  presence  felt  as  a  one  and  two  miler.  Among 
other  threats  to  our  opponents  was  Ben  Martin,  famed 
for  other  activities,  but  none  the  less  dependable  as  a 
consistent  high  and  broad  jump  artist.  He  won  the  inter- 
collegiate outdoor  high  jump  crown  youngster  year  and 
covered  over  23  feet  often  in  the  broad  event. 

Husky  Bill  Patton,  who  took  third  in  the  IC4A's  in 
'44  and  held  the  plebe  record,  was  given  number  one  spot 
among  the  Navy  javelin  throwers,  hurling  over  200  feet 
as  an  average.   High  jumper  Bert  Atkinson  also  returned

Hamberg  takes  off 

to  the  team  as  a  champ,  first  of  the  indoor  up-and-over 
men,  and  second  in  the  outdoor  event- 
Versatile  Hal  Hamberg  captained  the  track  squad  led 
by  '46,  his  claims  to  fame  being  in  the  javelin,  broad 
jump,  and  mile  relay  departments.  Replacing  high-flying 
Sessions,  pole  vaulters  Bob  Brady,  Charlie  Riehl,  and 
Frank  Curren,  who  had  a  three  way  tie  for  third  in  the 
previous  year's  IC4A  meet,  did  good  work.  Riehl  tied 
for  first  in  the  indoor  event  in  the  winter  season. 

Parker  Smith,  star  cross  country  man,  ran  number  two 
in  the  two  mile  while  quarter-miler  Joe  Stoutenburgh 
also  added  strength.  Rid  of  youngster  year's  bad  luck, 
Joe  Hall  took  third  place  in  the  indoor  IC4A  broad  jump, 
spanning  over  23  feet  and  regaining  his  fourth  class  year 
standing  when  he  broke  the  plebe  record.  Also  Danny 
Maxson,  though  retarded  by  knee  trouble,  turned  in  a 
neat  job  in  the  low  hurdles. 

Coach  Earl  J.  "Tommy"  Thomson's  track  men  started 
their  '45  season  with  the  Millrose  Games  entry  of  eleven 
men.  Bad  luck,  however,  plagued  them  all  the  way.  The 
next  meet  was  the  National  AAU,  in  which  distance  man 
Barry  took  second  in  the  thousand  yard  run,  and  Bouw- 
man  lost  the  broad  jump  by  less  than  half  an  inch.  Hin- 
dered by  lack  of  practice  facilities,  they  dropped  the  in- 
door IC4A  to  Army. 

The  spring  schedule  included  contests  with  Duke, 
North  Carolina,  North  Carolina  Pre-Flight,  and  Army, 
plus  the  Penn  Relays,  the  IC4A's  at  West  Point  and  the 
Heptagonal  held  at  the  Academy  June  second. 

Though  the  team  missed  some  of  the  power  it  had  the 
year  before,  there  were  many  swift  and  expert  newcomers 
to  fill  the  ranks,  and  the  season's  prospects  seemed  equally 
as  bright.  '45  was  certain  to  be  as  great  a  year  as  '44  in 
the  annals  of  Navy  Track.

"One  minute,  stand  by;  thirty  seconds,  stand  by,"  an- 
nounced manager  Bob  Tisdale.  The  dinghys  hovered 
near  die  entrance  of  Dewey  Basin,  jockeying  for  favor- 
able positions  along  the  starting  line.  On  America  Dock 
stood  coaches  Lt.  Comdr.  Riggin  and  Lt.  Oberist  watch- 
ing for  the  tell-tale  signs  of  bad  seamanship.  This  was 
the  start  of  one  of  the  sailing  team's  regular  afternoon 
races,  a  familiar  sight  throughout  the  fall  and  spring 
seasons.  Again  and  again  they  tacked  around  the  three 
quarter  mile  course,  in  fair  weather  with  the  fourteen  foot 
international  dinghys  and  in  stronger  gales  with  the 
knockabouts. 

At  the  various  meets,  Navy's  representation  comprised 
those  crews  outstanding  in  daily  afternoon  races— a  con- 
stantly changing  ladder  system.  In  the  fall  Captain 
Earl  Greenwood  and  his  team  entered  two  meets.  On 
October  14,  in  a  triangular  meet  against  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  and  Haverford,  the  midshipmen  sailors 
accounted  for  49  winning  points.  Next  week,  though,  the 
Coast  Guard  Academy  delegation  crashed  through  with 
a  23  to  15  win,  out-sailing  the  best  that  Skipper  Green- 
wood and  his  crew  of  Al  Whittle,  Bill  Thrasher,  and  Ted 
Saunders  could  offer.   This  spring,  the  sailing  team  con-

America  trophy.  Then,  in  early  May,  Navy  played  host 
to  the  Middle  Atlantic  Championship  races,  which  they 
won  last  year. 

With  the  arrival  of  warm  weather  came  the  Academy 
yacht  and  yawl  races.  The  overnight  races  up  and  down 
the  Chesapeake  provided  the  real  test  of  skill  with  the 
sheets  and  halyards.  Although  the  Academy  occasion- 
ally participated  in  races  with  neighboring  clubs,  the 
keenest  sport  came  in  out-stripping  fellow  sailing  masters. 
The  large,  sea-going  Freedom  far  out-did  all  competitors. 
Generally,  however,  the  Vamarie  and  Highland  Light 
were  the  boats  to  watch  in  Class  A  competition.  The 
Alert,  Dandy,  Fearless,  and  Restless  compiled  the  best 
averages  among  the  yawls.

Intramurals  take  over  the  practice  field 


FOOTBALL.  Sunday  afternoon  contests  gave  these 
teams  the  opportunity  to  show  the  rugged  power  and 
tricky  plays  they  worked  many  hours  to  develop,  and  to 
hack  them  up  there  were  plenty  of  rooters.  The  fourth 
battalion,  with  its  many  tricky  plays,  provided  the  most 
supporters  and  the  highest  score  of  wins  during  the  com- 
petition that  lasted  throughout  the  term. 

SWIMMING.  These  battalion  tank  men  put  on  a  show 
in  near-varsity  style,  as  divers,  expert  in  gainers  and  flips, 
co  in  bin  eel  with  fast  swimmers  to  make  every  meet  close. 
Despite  the  tough  competition  among  the  four  squads, 
the  second  battalion  mermen  came  out  on  top. 

BOXING.  Increased  emphasis  had  been  placed  on  in- 
tramural pugilistic  bouts  since  the  Academy  ceased  par- 
ticipation in  intercollegiate  boxing.  This  year,  it  was 
the  second  company  fighters  that  carried  off  top  honors 
in  the  field  alter  a  hard-fought  series  of  bouts. 


The  All- A  merican  pasi 


When  leather  met  face 

LACROSSE.  The  battalion  squads  took  this  originally 
Indian  game  and  came  up  with  plenty  of  thrill-packed 
contests  during  the  Spring  term,  and  the  many  bruises 
they  acquired  in  this  rough  and  fast  game  never  seemed 
to  deter  them  from  the  hard-played  matches. 

FENCING.  Long  after  the  regular  season  the  upper 
fencing  loft  was  filled  with  novices  attacking  and  retreat- 
ing with  saber,  foil,  or  epee.  However,  it  was  the  pin 
pushers  of  the  third  batt  that  developed  the  most  skill 
and  agility  with  their  weapons  and  proved  to  the  other 
squads  that  they  had  what  it  took  to  win  a  majority  of 
the  matches. 

TABLE  TENNIS.  The  strong  armed  athletes  some- 
times snicker  at  table  tennis,  but  that's  before  a  paddle 
is  placed  in  their  hands  and  a  fast  wicked  service  is  aimed 


498 


Sink  or  swim  .  .  .  we  usually  sank 

their  way.  There  were  plenty  of  applications  for  this  pop- 
ular indoor  sport,  and  when  the  final  tallies  were  made 
during  the  winter  season,  the  fourth  batt  showed  itself 
supreme. 

CREW.  Showing  the  most  form  as  well  as  the  most 
speed,  the  fourth  batt  crewmen  raced  their  shell  over  the 
Severn  at  a  fast  clip  to  cop  the  championship  last  fall. 
Twice  a  week  these  trim  craft  could  be  seen  skimming 
the  waters  of  the  Severn  as  the  battalion  squads  vied  in 
their  hard-fought  races. 

TRACK.  Like  most  other  battalion  sports,  track  was 
the  varsity  sport  played  on  a  smaller  scale.  Rut  even 
though  the  discuss  wasn't  thrown  so  far  or  the  100-yard 
dash  run  quite  so  swiftly,  more  men  were  able  to  partici- 
pate, and  generally  the  contests  were  plenty  close. 

Strike  or  spare? 


WATER  POLO.  Midst  the  splatter  and  splash  in  the 
pool,  a  white  ball  appeared  occasionally  and  there  was  a 
glimpse  of  outstretched  arms.  Just  staying  afloat  was  or- 
dinarily a  hard  enough  task  for  most  of  us,  but  the  water 
polo  players  both  swam  and  played  a  fast  game.  The 
second  batt  captured  first  place  in  this  event. 

SQUASH  AND  HANDRALL.  A  six-sided,  boxed-in 
room  furnished  the  court,  a  hard  rubber  ball  the  objec- 
tive, and  the  players  with  equipment  provided  a  fast  and 
furious  game  of  handball  or  squash  as  occasion  de- 
manded.  Honors  in  this  went  to  the  second  batt. 


Handball  in  the  sweat  courts 


TENNIS.  The  courts  were  always  filled  as  the  racket 
men  gathered  to  practice  this  always-popular  sport. 
Making  best  use  of  every  court  and  minute  of  time  avail- 
able, the  second  batt  squad  swept  doubles  and  singles 
competition  to  emerge  victors. 

ROWLING.  That  rumble  and  crash  emanating  from 
the  fourth  wing  basement  originated  in  the  Academy 
bowling  alleys.  Perhaps  the  last  clatter  was  a  first  bat- 
talion squad  member  piling  up  sufficient  strikes  and 
spares  to  defeat  the  other  battalions.  Or  maybe  it  was 
just  another  bowling  fanatic  who  made  this  sport  one  of 
the  most  popular  in  comparison  to  the  limited  facilities 
available. 

GOLF.  There  weren't  any  galleries  and  few  outside  the 
golfers  themselves  realized  that  matches  were  going  on 
across  the  river.  Even  though  the  fourth  battalion  mo- 
nopolized the  winning,  the  trips  back  and  forth  from  the 
links  by  motor  launch  were  worth  it  for  those  who  liked 
the  feel  of  a  200-yard  drive  or  the  holing  out  of  a  10- 
foot  putt.  Not  even  the  lure  of  liberty  could  detain  the 
enthusiasts  from  their  golf. 


499 


Irresistible  force  meets  immovable  object 


PUSHBALL.  Rough  and  tough  are  masterpieces  of  un- 
derstatement  where  this  recent  addition  to  tire  Academy 
sports  program  was  concerned.  A  mob  of  men  heaving 
and  tugging  over  a  huge  ball  and  there's  bound  to-be  a 
Few  on  the  bottom  mauled  and  trampled  upon.  The 
hardy  souls  who  entered  the  contests  as  human  batter- 
ing rams  finished  up  limp  as  rags  and  covered  with  mud. 
In  these  battles  where  almost  anything  was  legal  and 
do  holds  barred,  the  seventh  and  eighteenth  companies 
showed  they  possessed  the  most  drive  and  endurance 
and  succeeded  in  rolling  the  oversized  ball  over  all  op- 
position. 

GYM.  Stunts  that  were  not  included  in  the  varsity 
events  made  good  material  for  the  bar-hoppers  that 
chose  gym  as  their  contribution  to  the  company  sports 
program.  Bar  vaults,  dives  over  stretched  lines,  and  high 
kieks  combined  with  the  conventional  skill-testing  feats 


to  provide  well-rounded  meets  for  the  gymsters.  The 
eighth  company  outfit  came  up  with  a  squad  that  walked 
off  with  the  fall  competition. 

VOLLEYBALL.  The  eighth  company  easily  battered 
down  all  opposition  with  their  well-placed  serves  and  ex- 
cellent teamwork  during  the  fight  for  the  top  spot  in  the 
volleyball  competition.  Ten  courts  were  in  constant  use 
as  the  coordinated  teams  worked  hard  to  set  the  ball  up 
for  the  six-footers  to  "spike." 

CROSS  COUNTRY.  In  this  sport  where  the  lowest  total 
points  was  the  best  score,  the  nineteenth  company  run- 
ners puffed  their  way  across  the  finish  line  first.  It  was  a 
long  walk  for  anyone  else,  but  these  cross-country  run- 
ners took  the  two-mile  course  at  a  fast  clip. 

MILITARY  TRACK.  What  to  most  of  us  is  extra  duty 
provided  sport  for  the  members  of  the  military  track 
squads.  As  in  all  the  armed  services  toughening  up  pro- 


Spike  it1. 


Company  commandos 


grams,  the  Academy  commando  course  included  every- 
thing from  rope  climbs  and  scaling  walls  to  vaults  and 
ladders.  Mounting  all  the  obstacles  in  the  quickest  time, 
the  eighth  and  eighteenth  companies  swept  around  Far- 
ragut  Field  to  cop  first  places  this  winter. 

BASKETBALL.  In  this  popular  American  sport,  the 
Academy  cagers  kept  the  courts  in  the  gym  as  well  as 
the  armory  well  occupied  with  their  fast-moving  games. 
For  many  plebes  this  mixing  ground  of  Western  fast 
breaks  and  Eastern  two-handed  shots  was  but  a  prelim- 
inary before  the  Coaches  spotted  them  for  the  plebe 
squads.  In  the  company  competition  the  accurate  shoot- 
ing of  the  third  company  made  them  champs. 

SOFTBALL.  Spring  afternoons  and  the  company  sport 
of  softball  transformed  Worden  Field  from  an  open  field 


500 


of  greensward  into  a  medley  of  cracking  bats,  cries  of 
"play  ball,"  and  the  inevitable  banter  that  always  goes 
with  contests  of  this  type.  There  was  plenty  of  eager  ma- 
terial for  this  popular  sport,  and  the  spirit  of  competi- 
tion ran  high  throughout  the  short  season. 

STEEPLECHASE.  Combining  agility  with  speed  and 
endurance,  the  third  and  twelfth  companies  ran  away 
with  the  steeplechase  first  place  honors.  Up  hill  and 
down  dale  these  fleet-footed  long  distance  men  ran,  and 
it  was  a  grueling  sport  for  even  the  best  of  the  long- 

The  perfect  end  sweep 


Everybody  tried  to  kick  the  ball 

winded  runners.  Natural  and  artificial  hurdles  consisting 
of  puddles  and  trees  made  the  course  a  tough  one  to 
cover  with  the  speed  necessary  to  take  down  any  of  the 
top  honors. 

WRESTLING.  Plenty  of  the  company  wrestlers  had 
to  sweat  off  those  last  few  pounds  before  weighing  in, 
but  they  always  provided  the  wrestling  loft  with  numer- 
ous strangle-hold  and  grunt-filled  matches.  Topping  all 
other   contenders,   the   seventeenth   company   won   the 


Applied  basic  mechanisms 

championships.  With  the  varsity  wrestlers  as  referees 
and  coaches,  the  company  aspirants  got  excellent  instruc- 
tion. Fundamentals  that  could  be  used  equally  to  ad- 
vantage in  hand-to-hand  combat  were  learned  and  ap- 
plied with  good  sportsmanship. 

TOUCH  FOOTBALL.  Touch  football  provided  a  good 
chance  for  the  grandstand  quarterbacks  at  the  varsity 
games  to  display  their  wisdom.  Competition  ran  high, 
with  controversies  of  the  "T"  against  the  single  wing 
being  experimented  with  on  the  playing  fields.  The 
third  and  tenth  companies  had  the  best  tricks  and  their 
scores  brought  them  to  the  fore  of  the  Regiment  of  foot- 
ball analysts.

We  practice  breaks  and  carries 


"All  hands  carry  an  extra  suit  of  white  works  to  physi- 
cal training  drill  today."  And  so  the  pleasant  reveries  of 
another  happy  hour  were  shattered  by  a  reminder  of  our 
rigorous  swimming  tests.  It  was  a  long  way  from  the 
30-foot  tower  outside  Hubbard  Hall  to  the  flight  deck  of 
a  sinking  aircraft  carrier,  but  the  varied  instruction  given 
by  our  coaches  was  designed  to  prepare  us  for  any  emer- 
gency. 

With  the  advent  of  war,  the  Physical  Training  De- 
partment revised  its  whole  training  schedule,  in  order  to 
send  out  to  the  fleet  tough  and  well  prepared  junior 
officers.  Beginning  at  the  time  of  Pearl  Harbor,  they  ac- 
cumulated reports  from  battle  veterans  in  order  to  de- 
termine just  what  should  be  included  in  our  training 
courses.  And  the  results  were  very  noticeable.  We  were 
the  guinea  pigs  for  that  combination  marathon,  moun- 
tain climb,  and  torture  chamber,  which  the  coaches 
called  the  commando  course.  Then  "Spike"  Webb  came 
along  with  quite  a  few  new  in-fighting  punches  that  were 

How  to  break  an  arm 


The  principles  of  boxing 


never  included  in  the  Queensbury  rules,  but  were,  never- 
theless, very  effective.  And  that  was  only  the  beginning— 
from  then  on  we  had  plenty  of  instruction  in  rough  and 
tumble  hand-to-hand  combat  designed  to  put  a  few  kinks 
in  the  Jap  judo  experts.  Nor  was  swimming  overlooked 
as  the  varsity  members  of  the  sub  squad  will  testify. 
Coach  Ortland  had  some  of  the  best  dope  available  on 
such  vital  techniques  as  swimming  fully  clothed,  life  sav- 
ing, and  the  safest  and  least  tiring  strokes  to  be  used  for 
extended  stays  in  the  water.  After  his  instruction,  we  were 
all  ready  for  a  real  abandon  ship  if  it  ever  came  our  way. 
The  Department  constantly  received  reports  and  sug- 
gestions for  improving  their  program  to  make  sure  that 
every  graduate  left  the  Academy  with  knowledge  and 
skill  in  the  most  recent  developments  as  well  as  the  ten- 
acity to  meet  the  hardships  of  life  at  sea.  Whether  it  was 
instruction  in  how  to  gouge  a  Jap's  eye  out,  or  how  to 
make  a  touche  in  fencing,  we  were  well  prepared.

You  had  that  same  expression  on  your  face  when  you  pulled  me  through 
that  Youngster  Mechanics  exam  with  a  two-five  zip.  An'  dad — he's  an  admiral 
now — says  that  you  had  the  same  glint  in  your  eye  when  you  saved  him  from 
the  Bull  department  his  plebe  year.  You  are  standing  a  long  watch,  old  boy. 
We  often  wonder  when  we're  out  at  sea  or  on  the  China  Station  what  you  are 
seeing  back  here;  wonder  which  classmates  of  ours  are  D.O.'s  and  what  nick- 
names the  Mids  have  given  them.  We  wonder  how  the  football  team  feels 
about  the  Army  game,  and  who  are  the  prettiest  femmes  on  the  Regiment's 
locker  doors.  That's  why  we  get  such  a  kick  out  of  getting  the  LOG  wherever 
any  of  us  go.  You  know  one's  love  for  this  ol'  hole  varies  directly  as  the 
years  that  he  has  been  an  alumnus.  The  LOG  serves  as  the  link  that  we  want 
between  our  Midshipman  days  and  the  fleet.

One-Two  Punch 


T 


HERE'S  always  satisfaction  in  doing  a  job 
your  fellow  men  find  uood. 


There's  something  more  than  that  when  not  one 
but  two  of  your  major  efforts  turn  out  to  have 
rung  the  bell  with  those  in  position  to  know. 

Buick  powers  the  Liberator  —  builds  the  big, 
valve-in-head  Pratt  &  Whitney  engines  that  give 
the  B-24  its  range  and  speed. 

Buick  also  builds  the  Hellcat  —  that  hard-hitting, 
swift-paced  M-18  tank  destroyer  which  has  done 
so  much  to  teach  the  Blitzkriegers  about  light- 
ning war,  American  style. 

But  what  pleases  us  are  the  words  of  gratified 
comment  that  drift  back  to  us  from  users  of  both 
of  these  war  items. 

On  land  and  in  the  air  they  are  helping  deliver 
a  "one-two"  punch  that  hits  the  enemy  where  it 
hurts  —  and  our  boys  like  that. 

Hundreds  of  their  letters  have  come  to  us.  And 
if  we  may  sum  up  what  they  say,  the  comment 
seems  to  be  that  Buick's  on  the  ball  in  turning 
out  the  sort  of  stuff  our  fellows  want.

When  sea-air  power  prepares  to  strike . . . 


America's  giant  fleets  roam  the  Pacific  at 
will,  hunting  down  the  enemy  and  smashing 
him  when  found  .  .  .  subjecting  land  bases  to 
shattering  bombardments  from  an  unprece- 
dentedly  powerful  combination  of  naval  guns 
and  carrier-based  aircraft. 

When  sea-air  power  prepares  to  strike,  de- 
pendable communications  between  task  force 


units  play  an  important  role  in  successful 
outcome  of  the  operation.  And  on  the 
nation's  warships  and  Navy  planes,  Sylvania 
radio  tubes  and  electronic  devices  are  doing 
their  share  to  keep  these  vital  communica- 
tion   lines  open.

Sylvania  is  proud.

To  the  "talker  on  the  gun"  comes  the  signal  for  battle  action  over  the 
sound-powered  telephone.  The  gun  crew  mans  its  gun.  The  engagement 
with  [he  enemy  is  on!  As  the  action  becomes  intense,  and  shipboard

The  freight  car  protected  by  a  Duryea  Cushion  Under- 
frame  meets  every  jolt  as  if  a  huge  feather  pillow  had 
softened  the  shock.  A  floating  center  sill  travels  the 
force  of  the  blow  the  entire  length  of  the  car,  absorb- 
ing much  of  the  impact  in  the  unique  Duryea  arrange-

Oldest  and  largest  builder  of 
submarines  in  America,  Electric  Boat 
Company  built  the  first  submarine 
ever  commissioned  by  the  U.  S.  Navy 
(the  "Holland"  in  1900).  Since  that 
time  EBCo  has  been  a  prime  source  of 
Navy  submarines.  Japan's  loss  to  our 
subs  so  far— over  900  ships  sunk. 


ELCO  PT  Boats 

Tales  of  the  PTs  in  World  War  II  read 
like  wildly  imaginative  fiction.  Fabu- 
lously fast  and  maneuverable,  they 
have  sunk  everything  from  battleships 
to  barges.  Elco  PTs  are  lineal  descend- 
ants of  famous  Elco  pleasure  craft, 
super-powered  and  geared  to  battle. 
After  the  war,  Elco  Cruisers  will  be 
our  PTs  "out  of  uniform."

shall  be  more  costly  or  less  effective  for  lack  of  oil  is  our  continuing  objective.

We  publish  here  a  letter,  written  to  us  as  builders  of 
the  vessel,  from  a  seaman  who  had  served  on  the  1620- 
ton  Destroyer  Laffey,  lost  on  the  night  of  November 
13.  1942.  off  Guadalcanal.  Due  to  Navy  regulations,  the 
ivriter  of  the  letter  must  remain  anonymous. 


Dear  Sirs: 

I  want  to  make  a  request  Unit  may 
seem  a  little  unusual  to  you.  I  had  the 
privilege  of  serving  aboard  the  U.S.S. 
Laffey,  No.  459.  from  the  time  she  went 
into  commission  until  she  was  sunk  by  a 
Japanese  battleship  in  the  night  battle  of 
November  13,  1912.  off  Guadalcanal. 

The  request  I  want  to  make  is,  I 
would  like  to  have  a  picture  of  the  Laffey. 
If  you  can't  grant  this  request,  I  want  to 
thank  your  company  for  providing  us  with 


such  a  wonderful  piece  of  equipment  as  was 
the  Laffey.  It  may  interest  you  to  know  the 
record  of  the  ship  in  her  short  existence. 
She  sank  four  enemy  destroyers,  a  cruiser, 
helped  to  sink  one  battleship  and  heavily 
damaged  another  battleship  and  shot  down 
two  torpedo  planes.  However,  the  really 
amazing  part  is  the  punishment  she  took 
before  she  went  down.  We  were  hit  with 
four  fourteen-inch  shells,  ten  five-inch 
shells,  and  a  torpedo  which  blew  our  stern 
off.    Still  we  floated  perfectly  level.    The 


reason  we  sank  was  the  fire  raging  in  No. 
4  living  compartment  that  set  off  the  after 
magazine.  When  that  went,  it  blew  the 
ship  apart. 

I  was  fortunate  enough  to  survive 
with  a  slight  head  wound.  Now  I  am  enjoy- 
ing a  thirty-day  leave  before  returning 
to  duty. 

Respectfully  yours,

NEW  WESTINGHOUSE  DEVELOPMENTS   HELP  KEEP   OUR  NAVY  FIRST  ON  THE  SEAS 


New  Propeller  Blower  Assures 

SILENCE  AT  SEA 


Our  experimental  applications  in  co-operation  with 
the  Navy  in  1928  proved  the  desirability  of  the 
propeller  type  blower.  But  later  advanced  boiler 
design  increased  static  pressure  and  when  propeller 
tip  speed  was  stepped  up  to  offset  pressure  increases, 
noise  became  objectionable. 

By  changing  the  design  of  blower  details,  noise  has 
been  reduced  to  a  degree  that  the  propeller  blower 
is  now  the  accepted  type  used  by  the  Navy  on  all 
fighting  craft. 

In  every  field  of  steam  and  electric  marine  appli- 
cation, Westinghouse  is  constantly  developing  and 
producing  new  and  better  equipment  to  meet  Navy 
needs.  Already  greatly  enlarged  plant  facilities  have 
swung  into  action,  adding  every  hour  to  the  millions 
of  horsepower  of  steam  and  electric  equipment  now 
in  service.  Westinghouse  Electric  8c  Manufacturing

RECEPTION 


The  Navy,  as  well  as  other  military  services,  is  now  making  effective  use  of  Panoramic  Reception.  Soon  you  may 
be  flying  with  the  Naval  Air  Corps,  or  you  may  be  an  officer  in  the  Fleet,  or  a  member  of  the  Naval  Supply  Corps. 
You,  too,  may  have  the  opportunity  of  working  with  the  Panoramic  technique  .  .  .  and  that  is  why  we  call  it  to  your 
attention  now. 

What  is  Panoramic  Reception?  It  is  defined  as  the  SIMULTANEOUS  VISUAL  reception  of  a  multiplicity  of 
radio  signals  over  a  broad  band  of  frequencies.  As  such,  it  provides  simpler  methods  of  monitoring,  facilitates  com- 
munications, aids  direction  finding,  and  helps  you  get  your  bearings  more  quickly. 

Here  are  a  few  examples  of  how  Panoramic  Reception  helps  the  men  of  the  Navy.  In  communications,  for 
example,  while  ordinarily  only  one  station  would  be  received  at  one  time,  with  Panoramic  Reception,  the  presence 
and  characteristics — signal  strength,  frequency,  stability,  modulation,  etc. — of  a  number  of  stations  can  be  seen  at 
once.  In  direction  finding,  it  visually  separates  and  gives  an  accurate  bearing  on  stations  whose  frequencies  are  so 
close  that  their  signals  merge  aurally.  And  signals  too  weak  to  give  an  aural  indication  can  be  made  to  give  satis- 
factory bearings  with  Panoramic.  In  radio  navigation,  Panoramic  Reception  not  only  can  tell  the  pilot  if  he  is  on  the 
course,  but  how  far  off  the  course  he  may  be. 


Panoramic  Reception  has  many  other  applications  which 
even  now  are  being  more  fully  developed.  We  will  be

*  A^/EARL  HARBOR  is  a  symbol  of  American  bounce.  Pearl 
J_  Harbor  December  7,  1941  came  as  a  shock  to  the  nation. 
Our  Pacific  fleet,  gathered  in  one  harbor,  lay  helpless  under  the 
wuigs  of  Japanese  treachery. 

But  from  that  catastrophe  has  arisen  the  mightiest  fleet  of  all 
historv  Sunken,  fire-blackened  hulks  were  raised  and  their  weak- 
nesses converted  to  strength.  Pearl  Harbor  ships,  reconditioned  in 
record  speed,  are  mightier  than  ever.  And  from  the  ways  of  Navy 
Yards  and  shipyards  all  over  the  United  States  has  come  a  fleet 
greater  than  all  other  navies  of  the  world  combined. 

For  over  half  a  century  Okonite  has  been  a  Navy  supplier  of 
electrical  wires  and  cables.  Okonite  research  men,  cooperating  with 
Navy  engineers,  pioneered  such  recent  improvements  as  the  syn- 
thetic impervious  sheath  that  eliminates  heavy  coverings  of  lead, 
glass  fibre  insulation  that  resists  heat,  flameproof  synthetic  insula- 
tions that  replaced  rubber,  "unilay"  assembly  of  conductors  that 
prevented  breakage  of  copper  in  flexible  cables  and  Okoloy  corrosion- 
resistant  coatings  for  conductors. 

\X'e  are  justifiably  proud  of  our  many  contributions  that  have 
improved  the  distribution  of  electrical  power  in  the  ships  of  our 
Navy.  These  same  improvements  have  been  incorporated  in  other 
cable  designs  used  for  power  and  lighting  applications  in  many 
other  industries.  The  Okonite  Company,  Passaic,  New  Jersey.

Since  before  Pearl  Harbor, 
every  new  ship  that  has 
rolled  down  our  ways  has 

been  destined  for  service  in  the  U.  S.

craftsmanship  which  enabled  us  to

THE  FAIRCHILD 

PACKET 

CARRIER  FOR  THE  SKY  ROADS 


FAIRCHILD  has  built  the  Packet— a  swift  carrier  for  the 
new  age  of  flight;  a  "flying  boxcar"  that  can  carry  great 
loads  and  has  a  range  of  over  3,500  miles. 

The  Packet  can  carry  42  fully- equipped  paratroops  and 
deliver  them  through  two  rear  end  jump  doors.  Military 
cargo  is  loaded  with  ease  through  a  huge  split  door  in  the 
stern.  The  fuselage  floor  is  parallel  to  the  ground  at  truck 
floor  level — no  need  for  hoisting  devices. 

The  Packet  is  another  example  of  "the  touch  of  tomor- 
row in  the  planes  of  today"  achieved  by  Fairchild  engineering.

Any  similarity  is  not 
purely  coincidental! 

We'll  grant  you  that  they're  not  the  same — a  bombsight 
and  an  adding  machine.  You  couldn't  hit  anything  but  the 
ground  with  the  latter. 

But  both  of  them  are  essentially  calculating  machines. 

It  isn't  too  important  that  the  Norden  Bombsight  we 
make  for  the  Army  handles  factors  like  plane  speed,  alti- 
tude, wind  speed,  air  temperature,  trail,  to  name  a  few. 
It's  equally  secondary  that  the  Victor  Adding  Machines 
we  make  in  peace  compute  figures  representing  this  many 
tons  of  steel,  that  many  dozen  eggs,  how  much  the  finance 
officer  figures  you  get  after  you  sign  your  pay  voucher. 

The  important  thing  about  both  these  machines  is  their 
ability  to  come  up  with  the  right  answers — every  time. 

Yes,  you  can  say  that  because  of  the  Norden  Bomb- 
sight's  complexity,  because  of  the  mathematical  miracles 
it  performs,  it  doesn't  belong  in  the  same  room  with  any 
adding  machine.  And  you're  right!  Nothing  like  getting 
first  things  first. 

But  when  the  war  is  won,  Victor  Adding  Machines  will 
be  built  under  the  same  roof  that  housed  the  Norden 
Bombsight  .  .  .  and  by  the  same  craftsmen  .  .  .  using  the 
same  precision  know-how. 

Our  customers  will  get  a  lot  more  for  their  peacetime 
adding  machine  dollar.  And  that  won't  be  coincidence, 
either.

has  no  way  of  knowing.  Detonation 
means  destructive  combustion.  In  your 
car,  you  can  hear  detonation.  In  air- 
craft, the  noise  level  is  too  high. 


k_ i : ...i. ..  ;;    .      :  ; 

O  DETONATION  increases  internal 
temperature  and  pressure  tremen- 
dously. If  continued,  it  damages  en- 
gines, may  cause  failure.  How  is  it 
possible  to  tell  when  detonation  occurs 
inflight?

0  THE  M.I.T.-SPERRY  Detonation 
Indicator  detects  detonation  in- 
stantly. A  flashing  light  on  the  instru- 
ment panel  warns  pilot  to  change  fuel 
mixture.  Result?  Greatest  operating 
efficiency  without  damage  to  engines. 


A  RE  MA  R  KA  BLE  savings  in  fuel ! 
Preliminary  tests  show  savings  of 
10%  or  more  over  typical  airline  prac- 
tice. Payload  can  be  added.  Safety  is 
increased  . . .  engine  life  prolonged  . . . 
periods  between  overhaul  lengthened.

C  THE  M.I.T.-SPERRY  Detonation 
Indicator  is  installed  externally— 
requires  no  piercing  of  cylinders.  Visual 
signal  gives  instant  warning  of  detona- 
tion. A  selector  switch  then  determines 
in  which  cylinder  combustion  is  faulty.

A  SPERRY  Automatic  Mix- 


ture  Control  may  be  used  in 
conjunction  with  the  Detona- 
tion Indicator.  When  detona- 
tion occurs,  this  device  auto- 
matically  and  instantly  elimi- 
nates this  condition  and  hunts 
as  lean  a  mixture  as  possible 
without  sacrifice  of  power. 

The  Detonation  Indicator  is 
designed  for  use  on  all  types  of 
engines  and  aircraft.  Where 
economy  of  operation  is  impor- 
tant ...  as  it  will  be  in  postwar 
commercial  aviation  .  .  .  this 
new  flight  instrument  will 
stand  cont  inuous  guard  against 
wasteful  conditions.

convoy  areas  of  the  Atlantic.  From  the  hour  they  are  born  of  form- 
less steel  to  hours  of  grim  action,  they  must  be  perfect  in  workman-

Bantam  today  is  an  important  producer 
of  war  materiel. 

Its  products  range  from  delicate,  high- 
precision  torpedo  engines  and  aircraft  parts 
to  mass-production  items  such  as  amphibi- 
ous and  heavy  cargo  trailers.  In  the  last 
12  months,  more  than  67,000  trailers 
have  rolled  off  Bantam's  enlarged  pro- 
duction lines. 

War,  which  tries  companies  as  well  as 
men,  has  demonstrated  Bantam's  ability 
to  produce,  speedily  and  in  quantity,  a 
diversity  of  products  which  have  passed 
the  harsh  test  of  battle  on  land,  on  sea 
and  in  the  air. 

The  enlarged  facilities  and  skills  which 
have  made  Bantam  an  important  pro- 
ducer of  war  materiel  will  eventually  be 
turned  to  the  uses  of  peace.

FOUR  WORDS 

and  what  they  mean  to  the  world 

"Precision  production  for  power." 

Perhaps  better  than  any  other  single 
phrase,  those  four  words  serve  to  de- 
scribe American  Bosch  to  the  world. 

Commerce,  industry,  mining,  agricul- 
ture and  construction  have  long  known 
American  Bosch  as  the  source  of  precision 
ignition  and  fuel  injection  equipment  and 
the  facilities  to  maintain  it. 

Manufacturers  of  the  world's  engines 
have  called  upon  American  Bosch  for 
specialized  knowledge  that  has  contrib- 
uted vitally  to  the  continued  improvement 
of  gasoline  and  Diesel  engines. 

The  use  of  power  in  a  world  at  peace 
will  expand  tremendously.  Then, 
American  Bosch  Precision  Production 
for  Power  will  be  available  to  all  who 
will  build  or  use  the  engines  through 
which  power  will  become  the  servant  of 
mankind.

ANDERSON    HOUSE,   NAVY    DEPARTMENT       •       Washington,   D.    C. 

Incorporated  in  the  District  of  Columbia,  January  23,  1904 
•  •  •  • 


I  lie  purpose  of  the  Navy  Relief  Society  is  to  collect  funds 
and  use  them  to  aid  in  limes  of  emergency  need,  the 
officers  and  enlisted  men  of  the  Naval  Service  of  the 
I  nited  Slate-,  their  dependents,  and  the  dependents  of 
deceased  Naval  personnel.  Its  aim  is  to  meet  the  emer- 
gency needs  of  the  personnel  of  the  whole  Naval  Service 
when  on  active  duty,  comprising  the  Navy,  the  Marine 
Corp-  and  the  Coast  Guard.  The  personnel  of  the  last 
being  Berved  through  the  Coast  Guard  welfare. 

During  the  first  ten  months  of  1911,  in  addition  to  the 
assistance  given  in  the  form  of  information,  counsel  and  in 
other  ways  nol  involving  financial  expenditure,  the  Society 
has     advanced     in     the     form     of     loans,     without    interest. 


$3,558,179  to  74,534  persons,  approximately  23%  of  which 
was  in  connection  with  the  hospitalization  of  dependents. 
It  has  also  expended  in  the  form  of  Gratuities  $718,389  in 
17,016  cases,  the  major  portion  of  which  was  in  connection 
with  illness  and  expensive  hospitalization  of  dependents 
and  to  assist  widows  and  other  dependents  pending  the 
receipt  of  government  benefits.  During  the  whole  of  1943 
all  gratuities  amounted  to  $466,329  for  the  benefit  of  13,070 
cases  whereas  in  October,  1944,  gratuities  were  granted  at 
a  yearly  rate  of  $1,065,401  for  the  benefit  of  19,812  cases. 

The  Government  does  not  contribute  to  the  Navy  Relief 
Society.  At  the  present  time  it  depends  upon  voluntary 
contributions  for  its  support.

Dependability 


The  shattering  concussion  of  a  1 6-inch  broadside  at  an  enemy 
target . . .  merciless  pounding  on  a  motor  torpedo  boat  during 
an  invasion  . . .  yet  Raytheon  Electronic  Equipment  keeps 
serving  the  men  in  service  providing  dependable  perform- 
ance in  the  face  of  terrific  beatings  .  .  .  often  even  after  an 
enemy  shell  pierces  sections  of  the  apparatus. 

Until  war  is  won,  all  Raytheon  facilities  will  be  devoted  to 
producing  electronic  equipment  for  the  Forces.  When  the 
last  enemy  ship  is  smashed,  the  skill  and  ingenuity  of 
Raytheon  craftsmen  will  return  to  the  engineering  and  build- 
ing of  peacetime  electronic  equipment.  Then  we  will  seek 
out  and  welcome  the  handling  of  tough  electronic  jobs. 

Tune  in  the  Raytheon  radio  program;  "MEET  YOUR  NAVY,"  every 
Saturday  night  on  the  entire  Blue  Network.  Consult  your  local  newspaper

TRIPLE  THREAT  INDUSTRY 


I       There's  a  triple  threat  player  in  the  Big  Game 
*   for  world  freedom.  It's  America's  petroleum 
industry.  For  it's  pouring  out  the  oceans  of 
gasoline  and  oil  to  power  the  attack. . . . 


America's  petroleum  industry,  too,  is  producing 
huge  quantities  of  toluene  for  the  TNT  that's 
smashing  enemy  positions  everywhere  — 
crumpling  his  strongholds,  his  war  plants 
at  home  .  .  . 


TIDR  WATER  ASSOCIATED,  in  line 
w  ith  its  fellow  oil  companies,  is  pre- 
paring the  way  for  the  final  touchdown. 
And  preparing,  too,  for  the  great  days 
that  will  follow. 

For  while  Tide  Water  Associated  is 
part  of  a  triple  threat  to  the  enemy  to- 
day, it  won't  be  long  before  you'll  hail 
it  as  a  triple  asset  to  you. 

Look  to  Tide  \\  ater  Associated,  after 
victory,  for  the  first  rewards  of  peace — 


And  America's  petroleum  industry  is  supply- 
ing the  fuel  and  lubricants  on  which  our 
own  bustling  war  industries  run,  turning 
out  the  weapons  that  are  helping  bring  the 
Axis  to  its  knees. 

for  the  super  fuel  that  will  put  wings 
on  your  car  —  for  an  amazing  lubricant 
that  will  free  it  of  many  troubles  —  for 
services  that  will  free  you  of  many  cares.

Two  world  wars  have  called 
this  famous  Colt  into  action - 
the  Official  side  arm  of  the 
United  States  Army,  Navy, 
and  Marine  Corps  since  1911. 
It  proved  its  hard-hitting  de- 
pendability in  the  first  war.  In 
the  interim  of  peace,  it  made 
many  a  match  target  record. 
And  now,  in  two  hemispheres 
and  from  Arctic  to  Tropic,  it 
again  carries  out  promptly  and 
aggressively  the  aim  of  the 
American  hand  that  grasps  it.

the  Minneapolis-Moline  WAR  RECORD 


According  to  the    best  available  information  we  have, 
Minneapolis-Moline  is  the  FIRST  and  ONLY  company 
in   the    U.  S.  A.  to  win  all  the  following   awards  for 
production   efficiency: 

I.     Victory  Fleet  Flag  and  Maritime  "M"  Pennant 
(Minneapolis   plant).     Now  with   five   Gold    Stars 
each    denoting     6    months    of    high     production 
achievements. 

2.      Army-Navy  "E"   (Como  plant).    With  one 
Star   for    continued    Meritorious    Production. 

3.     The  Army  Ordnance  Banner   (Minneap- 
olis and    Hopkins   plants). 

MM   is  one  of  only  23  companies  in  the 

U.   S.  to    have    earned    five    consecutive 

awards  from  the   U.  S.  Maritime  Com- 


mission  for   continued    high    quality    and    high    production    achievement.     MM    was 
one  of  the  first  45  firms  in  the   U.  S.  to  win  the   Maritime   "M"   Pennant. 

In  addition  MM  was  one  of  the  first  100  firms  to  set  up  a  Labor  Management 
Committee.  The  U.  S.  Treasury  Dept.  reports  that  MM  was  one  of  the  first  100 
large  firms  whose  employees  invested  10%  or  better  in  War  Savings  Bonds.  For 
this  MM  proudly  displays  the  Treasury  "T"  flag.  MM  was  awarded  the  Governor's 
Plant  Safety  Award  for  a  well-established  safety  program  and  has  contributed 
to  the  War  Production  Fund  of  the  National  Safety  Council  to  help  stop  accidents. 
Minneapolis-Moline  and  employees  regularly  support  every  worthwhile  cause 
and  endeavor  that  helps  assure  final  and  complete  victory.  Minneapolis-Moline 
is  dedicated  to  do  all  in  its  power  to  back  up  the  men  and  women  on  the  fight- 
ing fronts.  THEY  are  the 
ones  who  are  winning  this  war 
so  that  this  land  of  ours  and 
our  way  of  life  may  be  pre- 
served for  all  of  us — and  for 
future  generations. 


PRODUCTION    IN    WARTIME 
FOR  VICTORY 

Minneapolis-Moline  has  continued  to  produce  all  the  tractors 
and  farm  machinery  allowed  by  limitation  orders  for  which 
material  and  manpower  could  be  obtained  on  time  as  an  es- 
sential part  of  the  wartime  food  producing  program.  But  MM 
has  also  produced  and  is  producing  thousands  upon  thousands 
of  heavy  artillery  shells  and  many  other  vitally  important 
machines  and  parts  for  our  armed  forces:  The  original  jeep 
is  an  MM  product — serving  on  some  of  the  toughest  battle- 
fields of  all  time.  MM  has  produced  thousands  of  winches  for 
our  liberty  ships.  MM  produces  life  saving  equipment,  includ- 
ing electric  winches,  together  with  the  raising  and  lowering 
devices  for  lifeboats.  MM  produces  over  one  thousand  vital 
and  precision  parts  for  Bofors  Anti-Aircraft  guns  including  the 
Army  model  and  the  Navy's  "Twins"  and  "Ouads."  MM  also 
produces  the  "Big  Minnie" — a  huge  crash  crane  complete  with 
the  motive  power.  It  is  used  to  pick  up  and  move  bombers 
and  airplanes  that  have  crashed  or  are  unable  to  move  by 
other  means.  Many  other  MM  products  serve  our  armed  forces 
directly  and  indirectly — MM  plants  have  been  accorded 
many  tributes  and  the  highest  possible  honors  for  high  quality 
and   high   production  achievement. 

Food,  Too,  Fights  For  Freedom 

PLOWING,  TILLING,  SEEDING,  PLANTING,  CULTIVATING  and 
HARVESTING  are  surely  the  GROUNDWORK  for  VICTORY.  Never  in 
the  world's  history  has  enough  food,  fibre  and  essential  food  oil  been 
produced  to  feed  all  well  enough  all  the  time.  ONLY  where  modern 
methods  and  modern  machinery  are  used  have  WANT  and  FAMINE 
been  defeated.  In  time  of  war  these  facts  are  all  important:  Seasons 
do  not  wait  and  weather  is  not  always  predictable.  Into  these  un- 
certainties of  nature  modern  power  machinery  has  come  to  enable 
farmers,  in  most  cases,  to  make  up  for  delays  and  still  get  their 
crops  in  on  time — and  harvested  on  time.  This  is  true  because  more 
can  be  done  in  a  shorter  time  and  usually  at  lower  cost,  too.  MIN- 
NEAPOLIS-MOLINE produces  a  complete  line  of  tractors  and  power 
farm  machinery  for  modern  needs  as  well  as  horse-drawn  farm  im- 
plements and  many  specialties  for  industry,  for  the  war  effort,  and 
some   special    farm    machines  for  foreign    markets. 


As  of  February  27,  1945,  one  thousand  four 
hundred  and  eighty-four  MM  employees  have  left 
our  company  to  serve  in  the  Armed  Forces.  Ac- 
cording to  the  best  available  information  up  to 
the  above  date,  twenty-two  have  given  their  lives 
for  our  country,  four  were  prisoners  of  war,  six 
were  reported  missing  in  action  and  at  least 
twenty-two  had   been   reported  as  wounded.

VALVES  AND  FITTINGS 

It's  likely  you'll  soon  be  one  of  the  lucky  lads  as- 
signed to  a  vessel  whose  copper,  brass  or  copper 
nickel  pipe  lines  are  fitted  with  Silbraz  joints  made 
with  Walseal  Fittings  or  Walseal  Valves.  If  so,  we 
know  they'll  increase  your  peace  of  mind  because 
a  Silb  razed  system  means  a  "one  piece"  pipe  line 
with  no  potential  joint  failures. 

Skippers  who've  been  shipmates  with  Silbraz 
joints  will  tell  you  that  when  'els-a-poppin  on  deck 
there's  no  need  to  worry  about  the  Silbraz  system 
below.  They  know  a  Silbraz  joint  can't  creep  or 
part  under  any  temperature,  pressure,  shock,  or 
vibration  condition  which  the  pipe  itself  can  sur- 
vive. Good  luck!

Eastern  Air  Lines  is  one  of  the  largest  air  lines  in 
the  United  States.  They  fly  Curtiss  Commandos 
for  the  Air  Transport  Command.  They  have  flown 
these  great  transport  planes  more  than  10,000,000 
miles  largely  over  water  to  South  America  and 
Africa,  and  never  missed  a  scheduled  flight  because 
of  adverse  weather  conditions. 

That's  equal  to  400,000,000  passenger  miles,  but 
it  is  only  a  small  portion  of  the  tough  war  mileage 
which  has  tested  and  proven  the  Curtiss  Commando 
to  make  it  the  most  advanced  transport  available 
for  peacetime  air  fleets  of  the  world. 

World's  largest  and  fastest  twin-engine  passenger- 
cargo  airplane,  the  Commando  will  seat  from  36-42 
passengers,  yet  have  526  cubic  feet  of  cargo  space 
to  accommodate  anticipated  1400f  %  increase  over 
the  prewar  level  in  mail  and  cargo  during  the  im- 
mediate postwar  years. 


With  its  twin-engine  economy,  the  Commando  will 
produce  profits  when  flying  with  far  less  than  max- 
imum payload — show  greatly  accelerated  revenue 
as  payloads  approach  or  attain  full  capacity — is 
the  most  economical  airplane  to  operate  on  flights 
whose  range  accounts  for  more  than  90  %  of  all 
overland  air  travel.  Curtiss -Wright  Corporation,

Have  a  Coke 


•  .  •  a  way  to  win  a  welcome 

wherever  you  go 

There's  friendliness  in  the  simple  phrase  "Have 
a  Coke".  It  turns  strangers  into  friends.  In  both 
hemispheres,  Coca-Cola  stands  for  the  pause  that 
refreshes, — has  become  the  high-sign  of  the  good- 
hearted.

No  matter  what  a  plane  has  to  go  through, 
the  idea  is  to  "accomplish  the  mission  and 
get  back  to  the  base." 

Klixon  Circuit  Breakers  and  Circuit  Pro- 
tectors help  pilots  and  planes  to  do  just 
that.  If  something  goes  wrong  with  an  elec- 
tric circuit,  either  from  internal  troubles  or 
flak  or  bullets,  and  there  is  a  short  or  over- 
load, the  Klixon  Breaker  or  Protector  im- 
mediately trips  out  and  prevents  more 
serious  damage.  Once  the  trouble  is  cor- 
rected, the  pilot  simply  pushes  a  button  or 
switch,  on  his  instrument  panel,  and  his 
circuits  are  operating  again. 

Use  Klixon  Circuit  Breakers  or  Protectors 
on  your  planes.  They're  permanent  protec- 
tive devices.  No  replacements  are  necessary. 
And  they  operate  under  all  flying  conditions.

Captain  "Jiopwood.  "'R'Ti. 


So  shall  thou,  lest  perchance  thou  grow  wearu 
In  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  sea, 

'Pray  for  leave,  for  the  good  of  the  Service, 
As  much  and  as  oft  as  may  be. 


£>w  these  are  the  £aws  of  the  'Tlavy, 
Unwritten  and  varied  they  be; 
And  he  that  is  wise  will  observe  them, 
Going  down  in  his  ship  to  the  sea. 


Count  not  upon  certain  promotion, 
'But  rather  to  gain  it  aspire; 

though  the  sight-line  end  on  the  target, 
Chere  cometh,  perchance,  a  miss-fire. 


As  naught  may  outrun  the  destroyer, 
Bven  so  with  the  law  and  its  cnip, 

Tor  the  strength  of  the  ship  is  the  Service, 
And  the  strength  of  the  Service,  the  ship. 


If  ye  win  through  an  Arctic  ice  floe, 
tlnmentioned  at  home  in  the  'Press, 

Jieed  it  not,  no  man  seeth  the  piston, 
'But  it  driveth  the  ship  none  the  less. 


Cake  heed  what  ye  say  of  your  seniors, 
'Be  your  words  spoken  softly  or  plain, 

£est  a  bird  of  the  air  tell  the  matter, 
And  so  ue  shall  hear  it  a^ain. 


Canst  follow  the  track  of  the  dolphin 
Or  tell  where  the  sea  swallows  roam; 

lOhere  leviathan  taketh  his  pastime; 
lOhat  ocean  he  calleth  his  home? 


If  ye  labour  from  morn  until  even' 
And  meet  with  reproof  for  your  toil, 

It  is  well  —  that  the  <nms  be  humbled, 
Che  compressor  must  check  the  recoil. 


Even  so  with  the  words  of  thy  seniors, 
And  the  orders  those  words  shall  convey. 

Every  law  is  as  naught  beside  this  one  — 
"Chou  shall  not  criticise,  but  obey!" 


On  the  strength  of  one  link  in  the  cable, 
'Dependeth  the  might  of  the  chain. 

UDho  knows  when  thou  mayest  be  tested  ? 
So  live  that  thou  bearest  the  strain ! 


Saith  the  wise,  "  'How  may  I  know  their  purpos 
Chen  acts  without  wherefore  or  why. 

Stays  the  fool  but  one  moment  to  question, 
And  the  chance  of  his  life  passeth  by. 


LOhen  the  ship  that  is  tired  returneth, 
With  the  signs  of  the  sea  showing  plain, 

(Den  place  her  in  dock  for  a  season, 
And  her  speed  she  reneweth  acjain. 


Do  they  growl?  It  is  well:  be  thou  silent, 
So  that  work  ^oeth  forward  amain; 

£o,  the  c^un  throws  her  shot  to  a  hair's  breatr 
And  shouteth,  yet  none  shall  complain. 


the  Tlav 


Do  they  growl  and  the  work  be  retarded? 

It  is  ill,  speak,  whatever  their  rank; 
Ghe  half-loaded  gun  also  shouteth, 

Cut  can  she  pierce  armor  with  blank? 


So  thou,  when  thou  nearest  promotion, 
And  the  peak  that  is  gilded  is  nigh, 

Give  heed  to  thu,  words  and  thine  actions, 
£est  others  be  wearied  thereby. 


'Doth  the  funnels  make  war  with  the  paintwork? 

'Do  the  decks  to  the  cannon  complain? 
vT2ay,  they  know  that  some  soap  or  a  scraper 

Unites  them  as  brothers  again. 


It  is  ill  for  the  winners  to  worry, 

"Cake  thu,  fate  as  it  comes  with  a  smile, 

And  when  thou  art  safe  in  the  harbour 
Ghey  will  envy,  but  may  not  revile. 


So  ye,  being  'Beads  of  Departments, 

'Do  your  growl  with  a  smile  on  your  lip, 

£est  u,e  strive  and  in  anger  be  parted, 
And  lessen  the  might  of  your  ship. 

'Dost  think,  in  a  moment  of  anger, 
'Gis  well  with  thy  seniors  to  fight? 

Gheu,  prosper,  who  burn  in  the  morning, 
Ghe  letters  they  wrote  over-night. 


Uncharted  the  rocks  that  surround  thee, 
Gake  heed  that  the  channels  thou  learn, 

£est  thy  name  serve  to  buoy  for  another 
"Ghat  shoal,  the  Courts-GDarual  "Return. 

Chough  Armour,  the  belt  that  protects  her, 
"Ghe  ship  bears  the  scar  on  her  side; 

It  is  well  if  the  court  acquit  thee; 

It  were  best  hadst  thou  never  been  tried. 


£or  some  there  be,  shelved  and  forgotten, 
With  nothing  to  thank  for  their  fate, 

Save  that  (on  a  half-sheet  of  foolscap), 
IDhich  a  fool  "'Had  the  honor  to  state— 


Tlow  these  are  the  Caws  of  the  TXavy, 
Unwritten  and  varied  they  be; 

And  he  that  is  wise  will  observe  them, 
Goin^  down  in  his  ship  to  the  sea. 


Dost  deem  that  thu,  vessel  needs  gilding, 
And  the  dockyard  forbear  to  supply; 

'Place  thy  hand  in  thy  pocket  and  gild  her, 
Ghere  be  those  who  have  risen  thereby. 


As  the  wave  rises  clear  to  the  hawse  pipe, 
IDashes  aft,  and  is  lost  in  the  wake, 

So  shall  u,e  drop  astern,  all  unheeded, 
Such  time  as  the  law  ye  forsake. 


If  the  fairway  be  crowded  with  shipping, 
'Beating  homeward  the  harbour  to  win, 
~^eet  that,  lest  any  should  suffer, 
steamers  pass  cautiously  in. 


wT7ow  these  are  the  £aws  of  the  'llavy 
And  manu,  and  mighty  are  they. 

'But  the  hull  and  the  deck  and  the  keel 
And  the  truck  of  the  law  is  — OBE'Jl
